Hey there!
I'm Harshad Satra, a freelance web developer based in Mumbai, India, with 13 years of experience turning ideas into fast, interactive digital products. Since starting at Yellow Slice in 2013, I have built everything from landing pages and marketing sites to SaaS applications, e-commerce stores and custom CMS platforms. My core stack is Vue.js, Nuxt.js, React and Next.js on the front end, WordPress, WooCommerce and Directus for content, and AWS, Vercel, DigitalOcean and Netlify for deployment. I care about the details users feel: pixel-perfect UI, smooth GSAP animation, accessibility, and page speed that holds up in Core Web Vitals and search rankings.
As a freelancer you work with me directly, not through an account manager. You get the experience of someone who leads engineering as Technical Lead at Leah and spent nearly five years at DocuX building the Vue.js application UI and leading the front-end team, where we cut load times by 30%. My current focus is AI-driven web experiences that combine human-centred design with modern frameworks.
Outside work I research new tools, travel for inspiration and sketch UI ideas that often become my next project. If you have a website, web app or store in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
