One builds. One secures.
Satish started HeliosFlow solo in Kagaznagar in 2025. Suhas Guntupally joined as co-founder — cloud and security lead — so you don't just get a coder, you get someone whose whole job is keeping your app running and audit-ready. Here's how the two-person studio works, end to end.
Founded in 2025 · Kagaznagar, Telangana
One client, one bad spreadsheet, one weekend.
In 2025, Satish started HeliosFlow after noticing a pattern: small businesses in Telangana were stuck with outdated tools and couldn’t afford the bloated, month-long timelines of traditional agencies. They needed someone who could design, code, and ship—without the overhead.
Later that year, Suhas Guntupally joined as co-founder to lead cloud infrastructure, identity, and security — letting Satish stay heads-down on shipping product while the platform underneath stays compliant, reliable, and audit-ready.
First client: Perfect Plate. A restaurant drowning in paper orders during lunch rush. Satish built a native Android app with a real-time kitchen dashboard and offline-first architecture. Orders went digital overnight, the kitchen stopped shouting across the line, and the service kept running even when WiFi dropped mid-rush.
Second: RR Detailing Studio. Customer tracking was chaotic — a physical notebook by the register. A custom CRM dashboard plus WhatsApp-integrated automated follow-ups replaced the whole workflow. Every customer, vehicle, and service now has a complete history.
Latest: Tulsi Heritage Farms. A family heritage farm running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp. In 6 weeks they had a public marketing site plus an operational dashboard covering inventory, bookings, and orders — one interface replacing months of coordination chaos.
These weren’t mockups or prototypes. They’re live products running real businesses — a farm operations dashboard in Telangana, a restaurant kitchen system on native Android in Hyderabad, and a detailing-studio CRM in Mancherial. Every one of them is linked on the Work page, and every one is still running in production today.
HeliosFlow is a founder-led studio: Satish on product and development, Suhas on cloud infrastructure and security. The two-person model isn’t a constraint — it’s the point. Clients talk directly to the builder, nothing gets lost in handoff, and we ship in weeks instead of months.

Katta Satish Kumar
Founder & Lead Engineer
Satish is a full-stack product engineer based in Kagaznagar, Telangana. He writes every line of code in every HeliosFlow project. He designs the UI in Figma. He deploys to Firebase. He fixes bugs at 2am.
Over the past 6+ years, he’s shipped native Android apps handling real transactions, React dashboards managing thousands of records, and backend systems that don’t go down. He’s learned what clean architecture actually means when you have to live with the consequences.
How I actually work
•Scope on day one. Week 1 of every project is a written scope doc with exactly what’s in and exactly what’s out. Both of us sign it. We both refer back to it when we disagree later.
•A real build every Friday. You run the actual product on your phone or laptop every seven days — not screenshots, not a staging link that nobody touched. Whatever you report on Monday, I fix by Wednesday.
•No dependency without a reason. I don’t add an npm package or a Gradle library without one sentence in the commit message explaining why it’s there. Most HeliosFlow projects have fewer than 30 runtime dependencies.
•Production first, retro later. If something breaks in production, you hear from me before the alert email. Usually with a one-line explanation and an ETA on the fix.
Core Expertise
•Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Material Design)
•Web (React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS)
•Backend (Firebase, Firestore, Cloud Functions, Storage, Hosting)
•UI/UX Design (Figma, prototyping, interaction design)
•Technical Architecture (system design, scalability, security)
Certifications
✓Associate Android Developer — Google
✓Microsoft Full-Stack Developer Professional Certificate
✓Google UX Design Professional Certificate
Beyond code
→Mentors self-taught developers in Kagaznagar and across Telangana — the ones who don’t live next door to a tier-1 city or a CS department.
→Ships HeliosFlow’s own tools in public. This website, the admin CMS behind it, and every project template are open for the next HeliosFlow client to read front-to-back before signing anything.

31 tools across 8 categories — and we're always learning new ones when a project calls for it.
How we argue about code at 11pm.
One builder, start to finish
The same person scopes the project, writes the code, and deploys it. No handoffs between strategy, design, and engineering.
Weekly working builds
Every Friday you get a running product. Problems show up early, not at the end.
Fixed scope and price
What we agreed in week 1 is what ships. No surprise change orders.
Code you can audit
Every repo handed over with tests, documentation, and no opaque dependencies.
Live products. Still running. Zero ghosts.
Public client products
Still in production
Typical timeline
First response
Founded in
One team, one repo
Plus 8+ more shipped under NDA we can’t show publicly.
Let’s build your next product.
Whether it’s a customer-facing app, an internal dashboard, or both — we’ll take it from idea to production. You talk to the engineer writing the code. You see a real build every Friday. You get a fixed price before we start.
