On a recent web app project, the biggest win wasn’t shipping features, it was designing the workflow early.
I mapped data flow, user actions, and automation before writing serious code.
That decision reduced rework, kept the dashboard scalable, and made future updates predictable.
Experience has taught me: solid planning quietly saves weeks of development.

Most startups hire a designer, then a developer, then spend weeks fixing what got lost between the two.
I do both. I design the UI and build it myself, so what you approve is exactly what ships.
Here's a concept I just finished: NOVA FORM, a website for an architecture & interiors studio. Designed and built in Framer.
What I focused on:
Bold editorial typography with an elegant serif accent
Image-led project showcase that lets the work speak
Clean, calm layout with plenty of breathing room
Fully responsive and fast
Live site: https://rotating-turnip-092303.framer.app/
I help startups, studios and brands get websites that look premium and convert.

Hi Contra! I'm Shailesh, a full-stack & AI engineer with 5+ years of production experience, now taking on freelance projects full-time.
What I build:
• AI assistants that answer from your own documents (RAG), with hand-off to a person when the answer isn't there
• Multi-agent LLM workflows with OpenAI and Claude
• Web apps and MVPs with Laravel, Python, React/Next.js and React Native
• WordPress/WooCommerce fixes and speed-ups
Recent work: a multi-agent AI lesson planner for an education non-profit, an offline-first React Native app for teachers, and a zero-downtime integration between two national platforms.
Building something with AI, or need a dependable full-stack engineer? Send me a message or check out my services.
welcome to Contra! RAG with a hand-off to a real person is such a practical setup
Technical performance engineering and Core Web Vitals optimization for comoimportarmicoche.es.
Achieved 92+ performance scores on mobile alongside 100/100 ratings in SEO, Best Practices, and Accessibility on a live production WordPress site by streamlining front-end asset delivery and eliminating backend execution bottlenecks.
Key Engineering Highlights:
• Asset Optimization: Minified, combined, and deferred non-critical CSS/JS, significantly reducing render-blocking resources and critical path latency.
• Next-Gen Media Pipeline: Implemented WebP image conversion, explicit aspect ratio dimensions to eliminate Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and native lazy-loading.
• Clean Architecture: Optimized dynamic database queries and custom PHP scripts to maintain near-instant Server Response Time (TTFB) without relying on heavy caching plugins.
• Core Web Vitals Targets: Focused on Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) to deliver sub-1.5s real-world loading times on mobile devices.

Yeah, this was a cold run in PSI. The DB cleanup was actually huge for TTFB—dropped uncached server response under 200ms, mostly by clearing bloated wp_options and fixing custom loops. Caching handles repeat hits, but the backend fix was the main win.
