I build things
that ship
for the real world.
I'm Sriram Gandrothu. I take products end to end — from the first half-formed idea to the thing real people use. If you have a workflow that's stuck, a product that needs to ship, or a decision you're trying to make, that's exactly where I come in. Tell me the messy version — I'll ask the right questions.
The interesting problems are rarely in the UI. They live in the seams — where the app, the backend and the business rules have to agree on what just happened.
that's where the real work happens.
What I build
six things I've built enough times to be honest about. pick one, or tell me what's stuck and I'll tell you which of these it is.
Web applications
Production-grade apps that hold up in the real world — storefronts, dashboards, SaaS surfaces and client portals.
- Next.js / React + Tailwind
- auth, roles & secure workflows
- fast, accessible, responsive
Backends & APIs
REST APIs, realtime features and data layers designed for scale — clean contracts, not spaghetti.
- REST / API design
- PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
- WebSockets & real-time sync
Product & internal tools
The boring-but-valuable workflows: admin panels, approvals, inventory, billing and reporting views.
- role-aware admin surfaces
- operational workflow design
- import, export & reporting
AI integrations
Practical AI, not demos — chat assistants, document intelligence and automations wired into real products.
- conversational assistants
- RAG over your own data
- workflow & content automation
E-commerce & payments
Storefronts and rental platforms with clean merchandising and payment flows customers actually trust.
- Razorpay integration
- cart, checkout & subscriptions
- bilingual (EN/TE) surfaces
Cross-platform apps
Mobile-first experiences and PWAs that feel native — from prototypes to store-ready builds.
- Flutter + clean architecture
- progressive web apps
- API-first mobile clients
A few things I've shipped
the short list. every one of these runs in production — go open them. the full archive lives on my personal portfolio.
the full archive — 11 shipped projects
all of them are live — go open them.
Where I've been building

Notes from the bench
decisions, not tutorials. each one opens on its own page — steal what works, skip what doesn't.
YAGNI — you aren't gonna need it
why I refuse to build the feature you'll need next month.
DRY — don't repeat yourself
the third copy-paste is a bug factory, not a shortcut.
KISS — keep it simple
the simplest thing that works, ships first and breaks least.
How I scope a freelance project
fixed scope, fixed price, and what I need from you on day one.
12 notes on file
written from real projects — not from textbooks.
Word from the other side
actual replies, anonymised — because the paperwork for testimonials takes longer than the build.
“the spreadsheet is gone. i open the dashboard now, like a normal person.”
“two weeks and it shipped. i kept waiting for the catch.”
“it survived my checklist of 47 ways to break it.”
“our customers stopped texting 'is it up?'”
“the first invoice finally added itself. i may have cheered.”
“asked for a change on friday. got it monday.”
Which of these is you?
three cheeky questions. no data leaves this page — the verdict stays between us.
what keeps you up at 3am?
Tell me where it's stuck.
Bring the messy first draft — a half-formed idea is a fine start. Tell me where the workflow is getting stuck, what the product needs to make easier, or the decision you're trying to reach. I'll ask the right questions and reply with a practical next step.
the questions everyone asks first — no chat bot required.
How much does a project cost?
Fixed scope, fixed price. A landing page, a full SaaS or a retainer all land differently — tell me what you need and I'll quote it honestly. No hourly guesswork.
How soon can you start?
I'm currently available. Most builds start within 1–2 weeks of the first conversation, depending on scope. What's your timeline looking like?
How do we start?
Email or WhatsApp me the messy version of the problem — even a half-formed idea is a fine start. I'll reply with questions and a practical next step, usually within a working day.
What do you need from me?
Three things: the workflow you're trying to fix, who uses it, and what 'done' looks like to you. Everything else we decide together.
