My Story
From student to contractor.
12 years in the making.
I started my digital career over a decade ago in New Delhi, driven by a simple fascination with how websites work and how the internet connects businesses to the people who need them.
What started as learning WordPress basics became a full profession — taking on freelance projects, mastering Divi, Elementor, WooCommerce, and diving deep into technical SEO. I built Websyy.com, my first real venture, as both a training platform and a proof of concept that I could take a site from nothing to live on my own.
Upwork became my proving ground. 31+ contracts. Over 14,000 logged hours. Clients from the US, UK, Australia, and beyond. Every project taught me something — about delivery, communication, expectations, and what agencies truly need from a contractor.
When AI tools started maturing in 2023, I went all in — not as a gimmick, but as a core part of how I work. ChatGPT for content strategy. Claude for complex reasoning. Midjourney for visuals. Zapier for connecting everything. The result has been a measurable 40% improvement in project delivery speed without any loss in quality.
Started WordPress Freelancing
Began taking on client projects in New Delhi. Built first WordPress sites, learned Divi, and discovered a passion for delivering digital work that actually performs.
Founded Websyy.com
Launched my first venture — a digital training institute website. Built end-to-end: design, development, SEO, and lead generation.
PsychFitInc.com Partnership
Began a 7+ year webmaster relationship with a US health brand. Still ongoing today — my longest and most trusted client relationship.
Upwork Top Performer
Crossed 10,000 logged hours on Upwork. Built a reputation for reliability, communication, and consistent delivery across 25+ contracts.
Co-Founded Eventswow
Co-founded and built an event-tech platform from scratch — AI content, smart search, chatbot, WooCommerce, lead funnels. Full product ownership.
Went All-In on AI
Integrated ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Zapier into core workflows. Delivery speed increased 40% across all projects.
Contracting for US Agencies
Remote contractor for OnYourMark.com LLC and agency clients across the US and UK. Focused on WordPress + AI delivery at $40+/hr.
My Work Philosophy
How I think about
every project.
After 12 years and 120+ sites, I have developed strong opinions about what makes a project succeed and what makes it fail. These are not rules I follow — they are principles I believe in.
They are also the reason agencies come back to me repeatedly instead of constantly hunting for new contractors.
Own the outcome, not just the task
I do not consider a project done when I hit submit. It is done when the client's goals are met. That means I think beyond the brief and flag issues before they become problems.
Async communication is professional communication
Weekly calls are a time tax on your agency. I send daily Loom or Slack updates so you always know where things stand without scheduling a meeting.
SEO is not optional, it is structural
A beautiful site that Google cannot find is an expensive mistake. I build SEO into the architecture of every site from day one — not as a plugin toggle at launch.
AI accelerates quality, not just speed
I use AI to do more with less time, but never to cut corners. Every AI-generated element is reviewed, refined, and made specific to the client's context.
The best contractors are invisible
When I am working well, you stop thinking about the project. The best feedback I ever get is: "I completely forgot that was in progress until it arrived."
Transparency is non-negotiable
If something is delayed, you hear it from me first — not from your client. If something is better done differently, I say so upfront, not after the fact.

Co-Founded & Built
Eventswow — My Biggest Build
I built a product from scratch. That changes how I think.
In 2022, I co-founded Eventswow — an event technology platform connecting event professionals worldwide. I was the sole developer, responsible for everything: product architecture, WordPress development, AI integrations, WooCommerce, SEO, lead funnels, chatbot, and ongoing maintenance.
Building a real product taught me things no client project ever could. I stopped thinking like a developer executing tasks and started thinking like a product owner making strategic decisions. That mindset now goes into every agency project I deliver.
Full product ownership from concept to live platform
AI content generation integrated at the architecture level
Smart search, chatbot, lead funnels, and CRM automation
WooCommerce for service bookings and payments
200+ indexed pages with full SEO architecture
OnYourMark.com LLC
500+ client websites.
Agency standards. US market.
As a remote contractor for OnYourMark.com LLC, a Wisconsin-based US digital agency, I contributed to the design, development, SEO, and technical delivery of hundreds of client websites across their portfolio.
Working inside a real US agency environment shaped how I operate today: how I communicate with clients, how I scope projects, how I handle feedback, and what "done" actually means to a professional agency team.
Due to white-label agreements I cannot showcase these projects individually — but the skills, standards, and processes built there are embedded in everything I deliver independently.
The agency standard I work to:
US client expectations, US delivery timelines, US communication standards — from New Delhi, entirely remote.

What I Believe In
The principles that drive how I work with every agency.
Reliability over brilliance
Agencies do not need a genius who disappears. They need someone who consistently delivers what was promised, when it was promised. I have built my entire reputation on this.
Async first, always
I believe meetings are a last resort, not a first instinct. Daily written updates keep you informed without taking your team's time.
Data-driven decisions
Every recommendation I make is grounded in data — GA4, Search Console, AHREFS. I do not guess. I measure, then act.
AI as a tool, not a shortcut
I use AI to do more of what I am already good at — faster. I never use it to replace thinking, judgment, or quality control.
Client success is my metric
A launched website is not a success. A website that gets traffic, generates leads, and achieves the client's goal — that is a success.
Remote done right
Remote work only works when communication is excellent. I treat every async update as a professional deliverable, not an afterthought.
Beyond the Work
The person behind the projects.
I am based in New Delhi — one of the most vibrant, fast-moving cities in the world. The energy here keeps me sharp, and the time zone (IST) means I naturally work while the US and UK sleep, often delivering progress updates before my clients even start their day.
I am a co-founder at heart, which means I approach every project with ownership mentality — not just as work to be completed, but as something that should genuinely succeed for the person who commissioned it.
Outside of work I stay close to emerging tech, follow the AI space obsessively, and am always looking for new tools that can make the next project better than the last.
