Starting a Minimal Portfolio
Notes on keeping a portfolio quiet, focused, and content-first.

I am Sachdev Parihar, a cloud-savvy, full-stack AI developer and product-focused software engineer building expressive interfaces and developer experiences.
Currently exploring how small, opinionated tools can unlock outsized leverage for fast-moving projects.
I thrive at the intersection of product thinking and engineering craft. Whether it's launching a design system, building cloud infrastructure, or crafting full-stack AI solutions and developer experiences, I'm relentlessly focused on clarity, speed, and care.
Outside of work you can find me writing about the craft of building software, running low-stakes experiments with new interfaces, and sharing learnings and experiments for others exploring technology.
Projects
A few recent explorations spanning product, infrastructure, and developer tooling.
Offline background removal that runs entirely on-device for privacy-focused image and video editing.
Instant room-based voice chat built for low-latency conversations with low latency. Perfect for social rooms and quick audio interactions.
A webOS - a modern browser-first OS-like shell and application runtime for the web.
A modern JavaScript roadmap site with progress tracking and AI-powered quizzes to help learners stay on track.
Writing
Notes on design systems, developer experience, and the craft of building thoughtful products.

Let's build something together
I partner with founders, product designers, and product engineers to move quickly without sacrificing craft. If you are exploring something ambitious, I would love to hear from you.
