Summary

Developer and designer who founded Srota — a community book-sharing platform I designed and built end-to-end, now live in people's hands. I turn fuzzy ideas into clean, fast, accessible interfaces, owning the whole journey from first sketch to the last shipped detail, with a particular strength in frontend web development. Self-taught, and I learn the way I work: by building and shipping real products. Visit shivam.id for a better understanding of my work.

Lumina Vision — Eye Clinic Website

Eclipse — Nightclub Website

Concept Build · discodancer.netlify.app

Concept build — design & development

  • Built a Delhi nightclub site in React and Vite — event dialogs carrying cover charge, capacity and last entry, plus VIP and guest-list flows that hand off to WhatsApp.
