flat on his back, phone six inches from his face, hour three.
he has no idea you're here.
Born on December 14, 2000 to a Bengali father and Bihari mother, I was brought up in Mumbai. I'm an amalgamation of the three cultures. I completed my schooling at SIES, then studied computer engineering at Somaiya Institute of Technology.
I'm a Muslim, Alhamdulillah. My day revolves around the five daily prayers. I've been blessed to perform Umrah twice (2017 and 2024) and Hajj in 2026. My faith has shaped me as a person, and it shows in my work.
Foodie at heart. I like it spicy, and got a sweet tooth to counterbalance it. I love trying new cuisines, and wish to taste every single one in the world.
The only sport I love is Cricket. Terrible at playing it myself. Exceptional at captaining from the couch. I'm on DND whenever there's a Kolkata Knight Riders match. That's how much I love the franchise.
And of course, I love making things on the internet. I think of myself as an artist rather than a software developer. I like to craft, not just build. You'll see that taste in my work, including this website.
Selected product work from past collaborations with Marc Louvion.
- datafa.stDataFast
Analytics built for people who ship alone: which channel brought the customer, and what they did after. No dashboard you need a course to read.
- indiepa.geIndiePage · the revenue leaderboard
Makers put their real numbers on one page and watch each other climb. Stripe-verified, so nobody can round up.
- shipfa.stShipFast · the shippers' leaderboard
The same idea for the ShipFast crowd: what people built with the boilerplate, ranked by what it earned.
- x.comIndiePage on X
The account that posts makers' revenue as it lands. Seven thousand people watching other people's numbers go up.
Independent projects built outside of work.
Small builds living on this site.
Short build notes on the odd little things living on this site.
I built an island out of boxes and conesNo 3D models, no textures, no loading screen. /world is a village made from three.js primitives and stubbornness.
My homepage has two secret doorsTear a boarding pass and fly to an island. Open a MacBook and boot into an OS. Two ways off the page, both animated as one continuous move.
There's a cartoon of me, doing whatever I'm doingA stick figure that mirrors my live status, with my real face cropped straight out of one photo so the two can never drift apart.
Two alternate versions of this site. Tear the pass to fly to one, open the lid to boot into the other.
Write me a postcard. Tap the stamp to use a photo of your own, then post it — it lands in my inbox.
