Taking on new client projects

Software that gives your team its time back.

I build AI automations, school and business systems, Android apps, and websites for organisations tired of paying people to do work software should be doing. Freelance, end to end, one developer you can actually reach.

What you can hire me for.

Four ways I help schools and small businesses stop paying people to do work software should be doing. Every engagement starts with a fixed scope and a fixed price.

Hours back, every week

AI & Workflow Automation

If someone on your team does the same thing forty times a month, that job belongs to a script. I map the workflow, find the expensive parts, and replace them with automations that run whether or not anyone remembers to press start.

  • Workflow audit and automation plan
  • Custom n8n and API pipelines
  • AI agents for drafting, sorting, and summarising
  • Integrations across the tools you already pay for

One system instead of twelve spreadsheets

School & Business Systems

Fee collection, attendance, records, reporting. The admin work that quietly eats afternoons. I build the system that holds all of it, designed so your office staff can run it without calling a developer.

  • Fee, finance, and reconciliation modules
  • Attendance and student record management
  • Admin dashboards and exportable reports
  • Staff training and written handover docs

Your idea, live on the Play Store

Android App Development

I have shipped and maintained my own apps on Google Play, so I know the parts that catch people out: store review, privacy policies, offline behaviour, and updates that do not break the install base.

  • Native and cross-platform Android builds
  • Offline-first architecture where it matters
  • Play Store submission and compliance
  • Post-launch updates and crash triage

Found on Google, and worth the visit

Websites That Earn Their Keep

Fast, accessible sites built to be found and to convert, not to win design awards. Built on Next.js, structured for search from day one, and simple enough that your staff can update the content themselves.

  • Next.js sites with technical SEO built in
  • Content your team can edit without code
  • Performance and Core Web Vitals tuning
  • Analytics and ongoing maintenance

Not sure which one your problem is? That is normal. Describe it and I will tell you.

Client work

Built. Shipped. In use.

Not portfolio demos. These are in production at real schools and businesses right now, quietly doing work that was manual a year ago.

Process

How working with me goes.

No agency layers, no handoffs, no telephone game. You talk to the person writing the code, from the first message to the handover.

  1. 01

    Tell me the bottleneck

    One message describing what is slow, manual, or expensive. No forms to fill, no discovery call you have to book two weeks out.

    Free. Usually answered same day.

  2. 02

    I scope it and price it

    I map the workflow, tell you honestly what software can and cannot fix, and send back a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a delivery date.

    Nothing is owed until you approve it.

  3. 03

    I build, you watch

    You see progress as it happens instead of waiting on a reveal. If something is drifting from what you pictured, we catch it in week one, not week six.

    Direct line to me, not an account manager.

  4. 04

    Handover and support

    You get the code, the accounts, the data, and documentation your team can actually follow. Bugs in my build get fixed at no cost.

    No forced retainer to keep it running.

About

One builder, end to end.

Clients bring me expensive, repetitive problems. I return software that makes them disappear, then show the whole build in public, so you can see exactly how I work before you hire me.

What I do

Automation, web systems, and Android apps for schools and small businesses.

How I work

Problem first. I map your workflow, find the expensive parts, and automate those.

Why it works

You talk directly to the person writing the code. No handoffs, no telephone game.

Right now

Engineering student by day, freelance builder always, documenting every build in public.

Products

Apps people actually use.

Free Android apps for Scripture, daily devotion, the Tamil church calendar, and learning to invest - built for real people and used every day.

FAQ

The questions clients actually ask.

Cost, timelines, ownership, and the one about being a student. Answered straight, before you have to ask.

What does a project cost?

It depends entirely on scope, so I quote per project rather than publishing a rate card. A single automation that saves a few hours a week is a small, fast engagement. A full school management system is not. Tell me the problem and I will come back with a fixed scope and a fixed price before you commit to anything.

How long does it take?

Most automations ship in one to three weeks. Websites usually take two to four weeks. Full systems and Android apps run longer, typically six to twelve weeks depending on how much has to be migrated. You get a timeline in writing before the build starts, and you can watch progress as it happens.

You are an engineering student. Can you handle real client work?

I already do. A school website I built and maintain is in daily use by parents and staff, a school management system runs live operations, and my Android apps are published on Google Play. I am a student and a working freelance developer at the same time, and the work in production is the part that should decide it for you.

Do I own the code and the data?

Yes. You own the source code, the accounts, and the data outright once the project is paid for. Everything is handed over with documentation, and nothing is locked to a platform only I can access.

What happens after launch?

You get a handover session and written documentation so your team can run the thing day to day. Bugs traced to my build get fixed at no cost. Beyond that, I offer ongoing maintenance and feature work, but it is optional. You are never trapped in a retainer to keep your own system running.

Can you work with the systems we already have?

Usually, yes, and it is often the cheaper path. Automations frequently sit on top of the tools you already pay for rather than replacing them. I will tell you honestly when integrating is smarter than rebuilding, even when rebuilding would be the bigger project for me.

Do you work with clients outside Tamil Nadu?

Yes. I am based in Tamil Nadu, India, and work remotely with clients anywhere. Everything runs over WhatsApp, email, and calls when they are useful. Local clients are welcome to meet in person.

How do we start?

Send one message describing the bottleneck. No forms, no discovery call you have to book two weeks out. I will reply with how I would approach it and whether I am the right person for the job.

Still unsure? Ask me directly on WhatsApp.
