Abdullah Shahzad's Work | ContraWork by Abdullah ShahzadAbdullah Shahzad
Web Developer for small business and agencies
Built VYXO, a local-first project workspace concept designed to help developers manage projects, coordinate AI-assisted workflows, and maintain control over their development process.
The project explores a workflow where developers can move from an idea to a plan, review proposed changes, preview results, and recover previous states. It is designed around flexibility, with the goal of supporting local AI models and external AI providers rather than locking users into a single service.
VYXO represents my exploration of building practical software products beyond traditional websites, combining frontend development, product thinking, and AI-assisted development workflows. Designed and built Suboptima, a subscription tracking web app that helps users understand their recurring expenses, keep track of renewal dates, and identify opportunities to save money.
The app brings subscription management into one place, with monthly and yearly cost breakdowns and support for over 150 currencies. The interface is designed to make recurring spending easier to understand and manage.
This project gave me hands-on experience building a web product beyond traditional marketing websites, with a focus on practical functionality and a straightforward user experience. Built the Epic Retreats website page to present curated retreat experiences and help visitors explore upcoming adventures.
The page brings together retreat details, destination highlights, experience information, and clear calls to action in an engaging layout. The focus was on making the information easy to navigate while reflecting the brand’s adventurous and premium feel.
The result is a dedicated page that helps visitors understand the retreat offering and take the next step toward learning more or booking an experience. Designed and built the GEMPower landing page for GEM Academy & Center, promoting its high school mentorship program for students in grades 9–12.
The page presents the program’s benefits, mentor matching process, safety measures, pricing, and FAQs in a clear, structured layout. It also guides parents toward registration through prominent calls to action.
The goal was to make the program easy for families to understand and help them take the next step toward enrolling their teens in the mentorship program.
