Philosophy

None of these are “failed” projects. Every line of code I shipped — even the ones that never saw users — taught me something I carry into the next build. GDStudyWorld led to WEBANDESIGNS. WEBANDESIGNS led to GLINCKER. GLINCKER led to 10+ npm packages and AskVerdict.

I believe in building in public, shipping fast, and iterating based on real feedback. The journey is the product.

Current focus: AskVerdict AI + GLINCKER
