The browser is the new shop window — it's where people decide whether you're worth the trip. I design and build custom websites for small businesses and founders, and turn a passing glance into an enquiry. From live socket feeds to bilingual voice assistants and RAG pipelines — I build what I design, and ship it fast enough that people stay.

A place for the things people never say out loud. Write into the Hearth and it keeps nothing — your address is never shown, one stranger replies, and then the letter rests. Themed Overtures for when you don't know where to start, and commissioned letters for when you'd rather someone else found the words. Live at oorb.in.

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.

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.
Visit Saffron & Silk
A concept build for a premium boulangerie — French-style artisan baking with an upscale, minimalist storefront feel. Serif elegance, warm tones, and the craft front and center: typography-led design with Playfair Display and restrained color.
Visit Artisan
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.
Visit Lumina Vision
A concept build for a Delhi nightclub — Bollywood nights, techno and rooftop sundowners, nine floors above Aerocity. Dark, neon-lit, amber-to-red gradients with strobe and marquee motion on glass cards — built to make a Friday night look worth booking.
Visit Eclipse
Anonymous letter-writing platform. Accounts with email delivery, themed prompt flows, and a one-reply-then-archive message lifecycle — a letter is readable once, answered once, and then closed. Paid commissioned letters on top, and a gifting path.
Full-stack community platform: email auth with verification and reset flows, proximity-ranked search, one-to-one chat with image attachments over live sockets, a notification centre with deep links, and an admin area with moderation queues and a filterable audit log. Route-level code splitting — 40+ chunks.
Fine-dining site with Saffron Concierge — a bilingual English/Hindi assistant with voice input through the browser's speech recognition and spoken replies matched to the language being used. Six-course menu with veg-only filters, a reservation flow, and heavy widgets deferred until opened.
Premium bakery storefront with a full ordering flow: add to order, adjust quantities, running subtotal, a cart that survives a refresh, an interactive seating map with availability tied to your slot, and checkout that branches on pickup time or the table you're sitting at.
Ophthalmology clinic frontend: a booking dialog reachable from any call-to-action on the page, a four-step patient journey from consultation to lifetime aftercare, and enquiry handoff to WhatsApp or email with the message already written.
Delhi nightclub site: event dialogs carrying cover charge, capacity and last entry, VIP and guestlist flows that hand off to WhatsApp, structured event data for rich search results, rupee amounts and correct times in Asia/Kolkata — and strobe motion that stands down for reduced-motion users.
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.

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.
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.
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.
