What I build

Things that are running right now, not slides about them.

Every project below has a public address you can open and use. Start with the first one — it shows what actually happens between a job arriving and it being finished, without anybody touching it.

    What this takes off somebody’s desk

    The split is not easy against hard. It is whether the rules can be written down — and the second list is where the money usually is.

    the hours nobody should be spending

    • Reading an inbox and sorting it before anyone opens it
    • Matching invoices to purchase orders, line by line
    • Copying between two systems that were never introduced
    • Booking, rescheduling and chasing the confirmation
    • Answering the same twenty questions, correctly, at 1am
    • Drafting the weekly report from the week that happened

    the ones that cost money when they go wrong

    • Noticing something is an exception and stopping
    • Reconciling records that disagree across three systems
    • Walking an approval through the people who owe it
    • Reading a long document and pulling out what matters
    • Spotting the number that moved and should not have
    • Handing back to a human with the reason attached

    This is where most automation quietly fails: it guesses instead of stopping, and a confident wrong answer costs more than no answer at all. The branch that stops and asks a person is the part worth paying for.

    Websites

    Built by hand, then handed over.

    No page builder, no template licence, no monthly fee to keep it online. The files belong to the client, on the client's own hosting.

    Arya Kanya Mahavidyalaya

    A girls' higher secondary school in Kolkata, established 1902, with no site of its own until this one. Parents looking for admissions information were relying on third-party listings.

    • scopeSix pages — about, academics, faculty, facilities, gallery, notices — plus a styled 404
    • built withHand-written HTML and CSS. One stylesheet shared across every page, no framework, no build step
    • the carePhotographs resized from 19 MB of PNGs down to 1.2 MB, so it opens on a phone on mobile data
    • honestyAnything the school had not confirmed is marked on the page rather than invented

    Games

    And when a brief says "make it fun".

    A browser game is the honest test of whether someone can build: there is nowhere to hide a dropped frame. Both of these are hand-written canvas — one about nerve, one about working out the machine.

    Chai Run

    Six glasses and the rooftops of the old city. Hold to jump higher, land soft or you spill, and run past someone on the ground to serve them. Four rounds, 300 metres each.

    Dabba

    A sorting puzzle set in a dabbawala yard. Lay a handful of arrows and colour sorters, press run, and watch the tins find their own way to the right doors — or jam trying.

    The work that saves the most is the part not shown here.

    Six businesses now have a job doing itself that a person used to do by hand, and the write-ups are still to come — no client's name goes on a page without their permission. Ask and I will walk you through what each one gave them back.
