About Me
I’m Raj — a frontend developer with 2+ years of experience building scalable, responsive UIs using React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I began as a curious tinkerer, breaking and fixing things for fun, and transformed that energy into professional work with startups like ACKO and GNP News.
But I’m more than just a UI engineer — I’m a builder at heart. I love creating things from scratch, designing beautiful interfaces, experimenting with new tech, launching small businesses, and even building full automation systems for content and e-commerce. I’m equally passionate about storytelling, filmmaking, sound design, and exploring the world through travel and spiritual practices.
My skill set spans frontend architecture, performance optimization, CMS integration (Strapi, Contentful), SEO, and automation — from WordPress workflows to Google indexing and affiliate tools. Whether I’m designing a site, optimizing code, or crafting YouTube shorts, I bring a creative, curious, and hands-on approach to everything I do.
