Hey there! *waves*

I'm Rakesh. I've been working as a software developer for more than four years, creating UX-first experiences with code, creativity, and pragmatism.

A bit about me

Started my career at a design agency — developed a UX-first approach and an eye and appreciation for visuals. That mindset still drives how I build: clean interfaces, intuitive flows, and real-world usability.
Now, working on a product with a small team, I believe in power and speed of iterations, rather than making perfect plans.
