Hi, I’m Jayant.
I make things on the web
and write about how.

Frontend by trade, generalist by curiosity. I’m spending this year going deep on the craft of building for the web — frontend, backend, AI, product design — and writing down what I learn as I go. If something here is useful to you, I’m happy.
