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.

Selected Work

Oorb — Anonymous Letter-Writing Platform

Live · oorb.in

Designer & Developer

  • Designed and built a React and Vite platform for writing anonymously to strangers — one reply per letter, then it closes.
  • Built the account and email-delivery flow, themed writing prompts, and a paid commissioned-letter path.
  • Made privacy the default: the sender's address is never shown and nothing is kept after the exchange ends.

Srota — Community Book-Sharing Platform

Live · srota.life

Founder — Designer & Developer

  • Designed and built a platform that lets readers list the books on their shelf and discover what's available nearby.
  • Built browsing by workplace and city, so readers can arrange safe, in-person handoffs.
  • Shipped end-to-end — from concept and interface design through to a live product at srota.life.

Saffron & Silk — Fine-Dining Restaurant Website

Concept Build · saffronandsilk.onrender.com

Concept build — design & development

  • Designed and built a fine-dining Indian restaurant site in React and TypeScript — a six-course menu with vegetarian-only filtering and a full reservation flow.
  • Built Saffron Concierge: a bilingual English/Hindi assistant with voice input through the browser's Web Speech API and spoken replies matched to the language in use.
  • Deferred heavy widgets until opened to keep the first load fast.

Artisan — Premium Boulangerie Website

Concept Build · bakemewell.netlify.app

Concept build — design & development

  • Built an upscale storefront for a French-style artisan bakery with a full ordering flow — running subtotal, an interactive seating map, and a cart persisted to localStorage so it survives a refresh.
  • Typography-led brand presentation — serif elegance, warm tones, and restrained color.

Lumina Vision — Eye Clinic Website

Concept Build · myeyedr.netlify.app

Concept build — design & development

  • Designed and built a website for an advanced ophthalmology clinic — bladeless LASIK, SMILE Pro, and an AI-powered diagnostic suite — with zero dependencies.
  • Structured a clear four-step patient journey from consultation to lifetime aftercare, with surgeon profiles and trust metrics up front.
  • Added enquiry handoff to WhatsApp or email with the message already written, reachable from any call-to-action on the page.

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.
  • Added structured event data for rich search results, rupee formatting and correct Asia/Kolkata times; strobe motion stands down for reduced-motion users.
