Developer · Builder · Problem Solver

I build software, AI systems & things that probably should be automated.

I'm Parth — a full-stack software engineer and Developer Experience engineer with 13+ years of experience turning ideas, business problems and occasionally chaotic requirements into production-ready software.

~/intro

So, what do I actually do?

I build software end-to-end.

I've spent 13+ years working across frontend, backend, APIs, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, automation and increasingly AI-powered systems.

Sometimes that means building a product from scratch. Sometimes it means taking a messy existing application and making it sane. Sometimes it means figuring out why a server is consuming 100% CPU at 3 AM.

And sometimes it means asking: "Why are we doing this manually?"

The short version Give me a problem, an idea or an existing system. I'll figure out what the software should look like.

13+ years of building things

Not a resume timeline — an evolution. Each era built on the fundamentals of the one before it.

Things I like building

Web Applications

Complex web applications, dashboards, portals and business systems.

SaaS Products

Taking an idea from architecture to MVP to production.

AI Applications

LLM-powered products, AI assistants, RAG systems, intelligent workflows and AI automation.

Developer Tools

Tools that make developers faster, happier and less likely to open another browser tab.

Automation

Replacing repetitive manual workflows with software, APIs and AI.

Infrastructure

Cloud deployments, Docker, Linux, CI/CD, production environments and the things that keep applications alive.

Internal Platforms

Developer portals, tooling, workflows and systems that make engineering teams more productive.

Things I've built, broken & learned from

A mix of real projects, experiments and prototypes — not just polished case studies.

AI Tutor Platform

Experiment
Problem
Generic learning tools don't adapt to how an individual actually learns.
Built
An AI-powered tutoring/coaching platform exploring personalized learning and tutor-style conversational behavior.
LLMsNext.jsRAG

AI Hiring / ATS

Experiment
Problem
Matching resumes to roles by hand doesn't scale past a handful of candidates.
Built
Resume and job-description analysis, skill extraction and candidate matching.
EmbeddingsNode.jsAI APIs

AI Image / LoRA Experiments

Prototype
Problem
Understanding what local model customization actually takes, hands-on.
Built
Local image generation and model customization experiments.
Local AIPython

3D Print Estimation

Prototype
Problem
Manually pricing print jobs is slow and inconsistent.
Built
Automated print-cost and production estimation workflows.
AutomationJavaScript

Developer Tooling

Experiment
Problem
AI-assisted coding is powerful but rarely fits an existing workflow cleanly.
Built
Experiments around AI-assisted coding and developer workflows.
AI AgentsCLI Tooling

Home Infrastructure

Prototype
Problem
Wanting full control over where and how personal services run.
Built
Self-hosted services, Cloudflare tunnels, Linux servers, web infrastructure and automation.

This list changes more often than my package.json.

~/philosophy

How I think about software

PRINCIPLE

Solve the problem first.

Technology is not the objective. The outcome is.

PRINCIPLE

Start simple.

Complexity should be earned.

PRINCIPLE

Automate repetitive work.

If humans repeatedly do the same thing, there is probably a better system.

PRINCIPLE

Production matters.

A prototype is useful. A reliable product is better.

PRINCIPLE

Keep learning.

The stack changes. Curiosity shouldn't.

~/devex

I'm increasingly interested in the developer experience.

I've spent years building software. More recently, I've become interested in the systems surrounding developers: tooling, workflows, automation, CI/CD, internal platforms and AI-assisted development.

Developer→ Tools→ Platform→ Automation→ Faster Feedback→ Better Software

Experience

  • Developer tooling & workflows
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Automation of manual processes
  • AI-assisted development

Currently Exploring

  • Internal Developer Platforms
  • Developer portals
  • DORA metrics
  • Cloud development environments
~/ai

I'm not just using AI. I'm building with it.

AI has changed how I think about software development. I'm interested not only in calling an LLM API, but in what happens when AI becomes part of the actual product, workflow or development environment.

The lab

A running list of what I'm currently poking at — not everything here ships.

Exploring

Running Local LLMs

Exploring what can realistically run on consumer hardware.

Building

AI Image Generation

Training and experimenting with custom models and workflows.

Exploring

Wi-Fi Sensing

Exploring whether existing Wi-Fi infrastructure can be used for device-free sensing.

Paused

Robotics

Building small robotic systems from individual components.

Building

Self-hosting

Running services, tunnels, infrastructure and automation from home.

~/work-with-me

Need someone to build the thing?

I'm open to a limited number of interesting projects, consulting engagements and technical collaborations.

Build

Have an idea that needs to become a working product?

Fix

Have an existing application that needs attention?

Automate

Have people doing repetitive work that software could handle?

Think

Need help figuring out architecture, technology or the right way to build something?

Collaborate

Have an interesting technical idea and want another engineer involved?

Let's see if it's worth building.

No corporate procurement ceremony required.

Nice. It's on its way. ☕

Buy me a coffee. Or give me something interesting to build.

If something on this site helped you, you found an interesting project, or you simply want to talk technology, say hello.

Worst case: we have a conversation. Best case: we build something useful. Somewhere in between, I get coffee.
