Futures, shipped.
I'm Nilankar an independent designer-engineer building modern web, commerce, and AI-native products for founders who refuse to ship anything ordinary. Brand-grade interfaces, sub-second performance, revenue that compounds.
Receipts, not promises.

I don't sell hours.
I ship leverage.
Every engagement is built around one question: what compounding asset will still be paying you back twelve months from launch?
Brand-grade interfaces
Editorial layouts, custom type, motion, micro-interactions that feel premium on day one.
Commerce that converts
Shopify Plus, headless storefronts, checkout polish, and funnels rebuilt around revenue.
AI-native products
RAG, agents, streaming UI, tool-using copilots wired into your real data and workflows.
Sub-second performance
Lighthouse 95+, Core Web Vitals green, edge runtimes, image and font discipline.
Hand-built engineering
Typed end-to-end. Tests where they matter. No template smell, no AI slop.
Global shipping
I've shipped for teams in 3+ countries. Async-friendly, timezone-fluent, calm under launch pressure.
A four-step operating loop.
Same loop, whether it's a storefront refresh or a zero-to-one AI product. Calm, fast, and built to compound.
- 01
Discovery
I map the real bottleneck — revenue, retention, or velocity — before opening an editor.
- 02
Design
A distinct visual system that earns trust in the first three seconds.
- 03
Build
Production-grade React, edge functions, commerce platforms — wired to compound.
- 04
Compound
I leave systems your team can extend, not black boxes that decay.
