01Selected work
I took over an AI-generated operations dashboard on Upwork. The brief was two sentences: we are onboarding live users, get the product ready. In the prep I found 73 bugs in the original build and closed every one. Six weeks later the app was stable, the Chrome extension was in the Web Store, and the project had survived its first platform-wide BOLA disclosure.
The Gmail extension signed users out every hour and placed its own card inside the email being written. I took over the extension, the release path and how the team ships.
A second product for a client I had already led for seventeen months. The brief paired a pixel-perfect Figma implementation with a hard workload-units ceiling on Bubble.io, two things that usually trade against each other. Live at sharetalent.co with a discovery feed, a talent directory, a jobs surface, and an agentic resume import that goes through a human review gate before any write.
Hired solo to build the V1 compliance MVP in 2024, brought back for the V2 full-product extension in 2025, and V3 is in development. V2 added partner sub-apps for white-label distribution, usage-based licensing, generated compliance documents, an integration that drafts regulatory language from plain answers, an audit-log surface, and field-level version comparison.
02What I take on
01
An AI-built app that ships in the demo and falls over under real load. I audit it, close the defects, and take it to live users. Agency Hub is the named case study. 73 bugs closed, and a platform-level BOLA disclosure survived while the product stayed up.

Regulated software with audit-log integrity, tenant isolation at the data layer, immutability, consent surfaces, and regulatory-language drafting. GoBD V1, V2 and V3 plus GDPR, shipped live since 2024 on the same product. The engineering discipline transfers to HIPAA and SOC 2 paired with framework-certified advisory.

Supply-and-demand matching, bid flows, ratings and reputation, dispute handling, Stripe Connect escrow. ShareTalent as lead developer for 17 months, Construction Marketplace across three sprints with zero bugs, and FoodIWant from one vertical to six in seven months.
Read about marketplace work04
Row-level security at the data type, schema-first tenant boundaries, role hierarchies that keep working as the org chart grows, reporting that holds at 120k+ rows, and white-label sub-app distribution for partner channels. GoBD and HR Portal are the case studies.
Read about multi-tenant workAlso on the bench
Code-first builds in Claude Code, Lovable and Cursor. Focused web tools, internal apps, and anything where code is the right call.
Agents that take action, wired into your app, your data and your existing workflows, with a review seam before anything writes.
MVPs, client portals, dashboards and internal tools. Modular architecture, so the v1 does not need a rebuild when the product grows.
Flat-file imports into relational Postgres, and schema-to-schema moves between databases. Phased, with a verification gate per phase.
Connective tissue between your stack and everything else. Custom workflows, dispatcher-worker patterns, and execution caps handled.
Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, OAuth 2.0, email providers. If it has an API, it can connect to your app.
03What clients say
Anish is an excellent developer. He not only delivers timely work, but gives thoughtful feedback on everything related to the product. His knowledge, and ability to communicate, are top notch. You, your team, and your project would be lucky to have Anish involved in any capacity.
