Hi Contra Family !
I’m Sandesh. I’m a Software Engineer, which is just a polite way of saying I argue with computers for a living and occasionally win.
Most people see magic when an app works perfectly. I just see a precarious tower of code held together by caffeine, sheer willpower, and internet searches from 2018. ☕
I specialize in taking the things that make founders want to throw their laptops out a window like messy data, skyrocketing server bills, or trying to make AI actually do what it’s told and turning them into solutions that actually work.
Basically, I do the heavy lifting behind the screen so you can focus on the fun stuff.
I’m currently opening up my calendar for new freelance clients! If you have an idea that needs building, a digital fire that needs putting out, or you just want to debate why dark mode is the only acceptable way to look at a screen (it is), let's chat.
I just added an in-app AI builder to Pro Studio, and I’m excited to share it with the Contra community.
Pro Studio is a tool I built for creating Kajabi websites and landing pages. Now you can describe what you want to build directly inside the app, and the AI can create it for you. You can keep refining the page through conversation, then export it as a Kajabi theme.
You can sign up, build, and experiment for free. You only pay when you’re ready to export to Kajabi.
I think this could be especially useful for designers and Kajabi professionals who want to explore ideas and build out pages before committing to an export.
Exporting straight to a Kajabi theme after refining through conversation is a really practical loop, Kajabi layouts can be fiddly to build by hand. Nice addition to Pro Studio.
Built myself a little command center for my freelance work this week. It’s called Bench.
Contra handles the contracts and payments, but my day-to-day was scattered across Contra chats, Gmail, my calendar, Notion, and a notes app. So I pulled it all into one place:
• A dashboard showing what needs me today: unread messages, overdue tasks, past-due invoices, leads that have gone quiet
• Each project gets its own page with scope, deliveries, tasks, links, and the full message thread from Contra and email
• A pipeline for leads, including a “Ghosted” column, because we’ve all been there
• A time tracker for the hourly stuff
• It syncs with my Contra projects and invoices every morning
Curious how other freelancers here keep track of everything. Spreadsheets? Notion? Pure chaos?
