Developer & Designer — India Fullstack Developer & AI Engineer — India

Everything begins at the source Ship things people actually use

Self-taught developer and designer. I turn fuzzy ideas into clean, fast interfaces and ship things people actually use. Let's build something alive. From live socket feeds to bilingual voice assistants and RAG pipelines — I build what I design. Self-taught, and I learn by shipping.

What I've been building Shipped, live, and in use

Srota — community book-sharing platform
01 — Live

Srota

A community book-sharing platform I founded, designed, and built end-to-end. List the books on your shelf, browse what's available nearby, and arrange safe in-person handoffs — so good books keep traveling and you always have a next read lined up. Live and in use at srota.life.

Saffron & Silk

A concept build for a fine-dining Indian restaurant — Kashmiri saffron, truffle biryani and a royal-India table setting, presented with the restraint an upscale room needs. A six-course menu, a full reservation flow, and Saffron Concierge: a bilingual voice assistant.

A concept build for an advanced ophthalmology clinic — bladeless LASIK, SMILE Pro, and an AI-powered diagnostic suite, presented with the calm, trustworthy feel a medical practice needs. A clear four-step patient journey, surgeon profiles, and trust metrics up front.

Self-taught, and I learn
by shipping

I'm a self-taught developer and designer. I learn the way that actually sticks for me — by building real things, putting them in front of real people, and improving from what comes back.

Srota is the clearest example. It started as a simple question — what if good books never stopped traveling? — and became a product that's live and in people's hands. I like owning the whole journey, from the first sketch to the last shipped detail.

Beyond the build, I write and tell stories — scripts and short-form content about books and reading, living on Instagram as @srota.books. Same spirit as the platform: keep good stories moving.

Capabilities

  • UI/UX Design
  • Prototyping & Figma
  • Design Systems
  • Motion & Interaction
  • Scriptwriting & Storytelling

Engineering Principles

Ship, then refine — real feedback beats endless planning, so I get something usable in front of people early. Design and code are one job: I move between Figma and the codebase so the idea and the build never drift apart.

Accessible by default — keyboard, screen readers, reduced motion. And I sweat the details: spacing, motion, copy. The small stuff is what makes a product feel effortless.

Tech Stack

  • React / TypeScript
  • Tailwind / Vite
  • Node.js / REST APIs
  • RAG / LLM Agents
  • PostgreSQL / Python

What I can
build for you

No jargon — this is the menu. Every line here is already live in one of my projects, working for real people. Not a list of promises; a list of things I've shipped.

Each one names the site it lives on — click through and try it yourself. If your business needs one of them, you can have it too.

Let's start something Have an idea? Let's ship it

If you have a fuzzy idea that needs to become a clean, fast interface, I'd love to hear your story. Wisdom starts with curiosity. Everything in the builds above is already running in one of my projects. If you'd like something like it built for your product, get in touch.

Currently taking on new projects. Most sites take 3–5 weeks from first conversation to launch, and I start with a free call to scope what you actually need.
