Full stack Web developer

I build exceptional and accessible digital experiences for the web.

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 at NVSTly, Satlantis, Ghost teams, Monogram & 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.
