I design , build and ship software stuff for fun

I started coding during the COVID lockdown, teaching myself by building small things and watching a lot of YouTube. Somewhere along the way I got obsessed with AI, developer tools, and startups — the kind of software that makes other builders faster. Right now that means Confluo, plus a handful of other things I've shipped along the way.

The pattern's usually the same: notice a problem I keep running into myself, build the smallest version of a fix, put it in front of real people, and keep iterating based on what they actually do with it — not what I assumed they'd do.

About me
SS
Shashank Shekhar
Self-taught developer, India

18-year-old builder and aspiring entrepreneur from India. I've been fascinated by creating things since I was 13, when I launched PixelFiles, a marketplace where I sold website templates and UI components that I designed myself. Shortly afterward, I built Colorzz, a color palette and gradient generator inspired by Coolors. Those early projects sparked my interest in entrepreneurship and taught me that the best way to learn is by building.

Over the years, I've taught myself full-stack web development, UI/UX design, branding, graphic design, video editing, and product design through hands-on projects rather than formal training. My latest venture, Confluo, is an AI context management platform that helps users organize and reuse context across AI assistants. I designed and built every aspect of the product myself, including the interface, branding, browser extension, website, marketing assets, and demo videos.

I work across the stack — React and JavaScript on the frontend, Node.js, Firebase, and Supabase on the backend, with some Python and Java/Kotlin when a project calls for it. I design every interface myself in Figma before writing a line of CSS; I'd rather own a product end-to-end than hand off either half of it.

Outside of shipped work, I build small 2D games in Unity and write Python scripts to scrape and structure data I'm curious about. Always building the next thing.
I enjoy identifying problems, understanding how systems work, and turning ideas into products that people can use. Every project I build is an opportunity to learn a new skill, improve my thinking, and get closer to building a company with lasting impact. I believe my greatest strength is combining curiosity, persistence, and execution to transform ideas into reality.
I know what you're thinking - this was probably written by AI, well,
