## Career (in his own words)

- 2018 — 2021: Software Engineer, IBaseIT, Hyderabad. Turned PSD, InVision and Figma designs into responsive websites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap, and designed some of them myself, like Ramopc’s logo and site and Rawtrade’s website.
- 2021 — 2025: UI/UX Designer, IBaseIT and client teams. Moved into design: screens in Figma for products like QATTS (a cloud test-automation platform) that I then built as components in Angular, Envoy’s mobile app in Ionic, and dashboards, apps and sites for Arrowstream, 3Degrees, Union 360, Bdazlai and Warranty Direct. Later, the logo, website and app for iCertify and DocsCrate.
- 2025 — Now: Designer who builds with AI, Independent. AI coding tools closed the gap between my two careers. Today I design a product and build a working version of it myself, like IBaseIT’s new logo and website, so ideas get tested in days, not quarters.

## FAQ

### Are you a designer or a developer?

Both. I started as a software engineer building websites, moved into UI/UX design, and now use AI coding tools to build working products myself.

### Do you take freelance projects?

Yes. I work with startups, agencies and small businesses on design, websites and branding, remotely from Hyderabad.

### What does “vibe coding” mean for my project?

I describe what to build and pair with an AI agent to write the code, but I review, test and own every line. You get the speed of AI with the judgement of someone who has shipped production front-end code.

### Can you host and look after my website?

Yes. I can set up hosting and a domain, launch the site, and keep it updated afterwards.

### What do you need to get started?
