Services

Focused builds, honest scope

Five clearly bounded service lines. Any of them can start from a short conversation — and every engagement begins with a written scope, not a discovery invoice.

Business Websites & Landing Pages

Give your business a professional online presence that works beautifully across devices.

  • A design that actually fits your brand, not a template clone
  • Mobile-perfect layouts for phones where most of your visitors are
  • A clear contact or enquiry flow so visitors know exactly what to do
Discuss this project

AI Chatbots & Knowledge Assistants

Help visitors find answers faster using a chatbot designed around your business information.

  • Answers drawn from your approved content — services, pricing policy, hours, intake steps
  • Polite refusal outside its scope instead of made-up answers
  • Escalation to a human contact when a question needs one
Discuss this project

Python & Business Automation

Turn repetitive tasks into reliable workflows so you can focus on higher-value work.

  • A clear picture of where manual work hides in your current process
  • Scripts that validate inputs and fail loud instead of failing quietly
  • Reports and documents generated on schedule
Discuss this project

Backend & API Integrations

Connect the systems and services your business already uses.

  • REST APIs with clean contracts and validation
  • Dependable connections to the services you already pay for
  • Webhook endpoints that receive events and log what happened
Discuss this project

Small AI-Powered MVPs

Validate a single AI feature idea with a focused prototype.

  • One feature — a focused prototype of a single functional voice-fed Q&A, summarizer, or matching engine
  • Real code quality even at prototype speed
  • A demo you can show investors, customers, or your own team

How engagements run

A process built for 5–10 hours a week

Part-time capacity means discipline matters. This cadence keeps work visible and predictable.

  1. Step 1

    Share the problem

    A short email or form message is enough. What's manual, slow or missing — and what outcome would make this worth it?

  2. Step 2

    Get a written scope

    A fixed-scope proposal: deliverables, assumptions, timeline and one clear price. Agreed before any work starts.

  3. Step 3

    Build with check-ins

    Weekly, visible progress on a live link. Questions answered in a shared written space, inside your time zone.

  4. Step 4

    Handover you own

    Code, deployment access and documentation. Bugs in scope fixed free for 30 days after delivery.

Solutions in action

Working demos, not screenshots

Three purpose-built implementations you can try in your browser — a support assistant, a concept business website, and a data-clean-up workflow.

FAQ

Questions clients usually ask first

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Focused, clearly scoped builds: business websites and landing pages, AI chatbots and knowledge assistants, Python automations for reports and data cleanup, small backend/API integrations, and tightly scoped AI prototypes. If something falls far outside that, I'll usually say so up front and suggest what you actually need.

How much does a project cost, and how do quotes work?

Every project gets a fixed-scope proposal: what will be built, the deliverables, assumptions, price and milestones, agreed before any work starts. I don't publish a single rate card because honest pricing depends on scope — a one-page site and a document-grounded chatbot are different projects.

How fast can you deliver?

I freelance around 5–10 hours a week, so I plan realistically and prefer work that fits a weekly cadence. Small websites can land within 1–3 weeks; scoped automation or chatbot projects usually take 2–5 weeks end to end. I don't promise 48-hour websites.

Do you work with international clients and time zones?

Yes — I'm in Kolkata, India, and I already work remotely with international teams. I'm comfortable with async updates, recordings of reviews, and a shared written space so time-zone gaps don't slow a project down.

Can you build and run a large product entirely by yourself?

I won't pretend I can. One person at 5–10 hours a week is not a full product team. I'm a good fit for scoped modules, integrations and early product steps — and a good partner inside your existing team or agency when that's not enough capacity.

What do I need to provide before we start?

A plain-language description of the problem, examples of what you like, and access to whatever the project needs (content, exports, existing accounts). I'll turn that into a written scope before we agree on anything.

What happens after delivery?

You receive the code, deployment access and documentation. Bugs in the delivered scope are fixed free for 30 days after handover; ongoing changes and maintenance are quoted separately and honestly instead of being bundled into an unbreakable retainer.

Have a project in mind?

Send a short description of the problem and I'll reply with an honest read on scope, timeline and cost — within 1–2 business days.
