About

Hi, I'm Prince — I turn complicated problems into calm interfaces.

I'm a full-stack web developer based in Bengaluru, India, with a focus on building products that feel simple even when the systems behind them aren't. Over the last several years I've worked with startups and small teams to ship marketplaces, dashboards, and community platforms used by thousands of people across India.

My approach sits at the intersection of engineering and design — I care as much about load times and type safety as I do about spacing and motion. When I'm not writing code, I'm usually mentoring junior developers, tinkering with photography, or exploring a new part of the country.
