About

Hi, Devang here! I am a freelance software engineer. I build polished softwares and web experiences.

My main focus these days is building products and leading projects for my clients at Upwork. In the past I've worked on Satlantis website & Codedamn.

When I’m not at the computer, I love spending my time outdoors, exploring the world on my bike or hiking through the hills. And sometimes you may find me hitting the books at college.
