Founder story
Curiosity is the engine behind everything I build.
I’m Muhammad Akbar Ussain, an independent developer in India—and Candelyra began with a simple habit: asking how things work, then trying to build them myself.
Interested in everything
My curiosity does not stay in one lane. I’m fascinated by cars and bikes, the engineering and strategy behind fighter jets, the forces that shape geopolitics, and the stories that connect world history to the present.
That same curiosity brought me to software. I’m developing more than five apps, learning through every prototype, bug, redesign, and release. Candelyra is one of those projects: an attempt to turn complicated chart-reading workflows into a focused, useful experience.
I’m still learning—and that is exactly the point. I want to keep exploring ambitious ideas and building products that feel thoughtful, useful, and honest about what they can do.
