I buildfast, reliablemobile apps.
I've been making iOS apps since 2019 — working with Swift, UIKit, and everything in between.
Right now I'm at Animaker, building video editing features used by millions.
About me
Mobile dev, slowly branching into AI and web.
I'm Avijit. I've been building iOS apps for 7+ years — everything from video editors to shopping apps to real-time chat systems. Swift and UIKit are my bread and butter.
Lately I've been teaching myself Next.js, React, and TypeScript. This whole site — the compilers, the tools, the blog — I built it myself (with a lot of help from AI coding tools like Claude and Copilot).
I'm not a web developer by trade. But I wanted to understand the full stack, so I just started building. Turns out, shipping a real project is the fastest way to learn.
Right now I'm at Animaker in Chennai, working on their iOS video editor. Before that, I was at CodelogicX and Convergent Infoware in Kolkata — building all kinds of apps for clients.

I'm always up for talking about new projects — especially anything iOS, mobile architecture, or AI-related. Even if it's just to bounce ideas.
