India 🇮🇳 · Self-Taught Developer · Since 2017

paidguy

telegram bot developer

I build Telegram bots, automate things that shouldn't be automated, and write Python that — against all odds — runs in production. Available for hire. My maa still thinks I fix computers.

About

Self-taught.
Self-funded.
Slightly chaotic.

I'm Paidguy — a developer from India who learned to code by breaking things, Googling furiously, and refusing to give up at 3am. No CS degree. No bootcamp. Just Stack Overflow, stubbornness, and a serious chai problem.

I specialise in Telegram bots (the kind that actually work, not the kind your cousin made in 2021 that crashed on the first message), automation scripts, and web development.

My commit messages are a historically accurate record: mostly just "fix" repeated until something stops breaking. Occasionally "hotfix" when I broke the first fix.

Things I can
actually do.

01 / 03 🤖
telegram bots

Advanced bots built with Pyrogram. Content restriction bypass, media handling, FloodWait protection, userbot automation. The kind that don't crash when someone types in Hindi at 3am. Tested under actual conditions.

Pyrogram Telethon Python MTProto aiogram
02 / 03
automation

If you're doing something manually more than twice, that's a script waiting to happen. API integrations, scrapers, file processors, scheduled jobs. I automate boring stuff so you can be bored differently.

Python Selenium cron REST APIs Scrapy
03 / 03 🌐
web development

Responsive sites that load before users abandon them. I've centered more divs than rotis consumed. That is a lot of divs. Clean code by my standards, which are negotiable but higher than zero.

Process

My "professional"
workflow.

01
You explain the project

I nod confidently while secretly opening three new Google tabs. I will ask you to repeat the important parts once, then twice, then again on WhatsApp at 11pm because my notes say "bot thing with the stuff".

// chai: 1 consumed. google tabs: 7. confidence: manufactured.

02
I say "should be simple"

This is always a lie. Nothing is ever simple. But saying it out loud makes both of us feel better for exactly 4 hours before reality arrives, uninvited, without even taking its shoes off at the door.

// actual complexity: 3× estimated. timeline: "it depends".

03
The debugging phase

Staring at code that worked fine until I "improved" it. I will blame the environment, the library, BSNL outage, IRCTC API, Mercury retrograde, and finally myself. The answer was on line 47 the entire time.

// solved while making chai. it is always solved while making chai.

04
Ship it. Don't look back.

Deployed. Working. I am not touching it again. Future changes are a new project, a new quote, and a new small personal crisis. If it breaks on a Sunday, I did not deploy on a Sunday.

// git push main. laptop closed. weekend secured. responsibility: dissolved.

Testimonials

What clients say
after the fact.

★★★★★

"He sent the bot at 2am with a message that just said 'it works'. No docs. No explanation. No hello. It works perfectly. I am afraid to ask questions."

— Telegram group owner
50,000 members, now with a working bot
★★★★★

"I asked for a small automation script. He gave me exactly that. It ran first try. I do not know how to explain this. I have accepted it as a miracle and moved on."

— Startup founder
Slightly confused, mostly very happy
★★★★★

"My cousin quoted me 5x the price for half the features. Paidguy built the whole thing in a week. My cousin has blocked me on WhatsApp. It was worth it."

— Anonymous client
Family relations: complicated
Pricing

Simple, transparent,
mostly negotiable.

FAQ

Questions I've
actually been asked.

Can you build me an app like Instagram?
Yes. Give me ₹500, a time machine, and a team of 40 engineers. Alternatively, I can build something that solves your actual problem — which I promise is not "an app like Instagram". What do you actually need? Let's start there.
Can you fix my printer / WiFi / laptop?
I write software. Your printer is a hardware demon from another dimension and it is entirely beyond saving. Have you tried sudo reboot? No? Do that. If it fails, buy a new one. That is my complete professional advice on this matter and I will not be taking questions.
How long will it take?
Somewhere between "tomorrow" and "next week", both highly dependent on how many chai breaks the problem demands. Simple things are fast. "Simple" things that turn out not to be simple take considerably longer. I will always tell you if I hit a wall. Usually.
Can you work for equity / exposure / experience?
Exposure doesn't pay my Jio bill. Equity is genuinely interesting if you're building something real with traction. "Experience" — I have enough, thank you. Zero is a number I cannot work with. Let's talk actual money. I am very flexible but zero is not a flex.
What are your working hours?
Officially: 10am–7pm IST. Realistically: 10am–2am IST. My best thinking happens at 1am. My worst at 9am. This is a known bug in my firmware that I have fully accepted as a feature and will not be patching.
My bot keeps getting FloodWait errors. Can you fix it?
Yes. This is genuinely my area. Telegram's rate limits are real and most people handle them wrong. I've built FloodWait handling into production bots and know exactly where the limits sit. Yes, I can fix this. Let's talk.
Do you do anything besides coding?
Yes. I drink chai, argue about editors (vim, obviously — this is not a debate), and provide unsolicited opinions on other people's architecture decisions on the internet. I am a fully well-rounded individual with multiple flaws distributed evenly across my personality.
