About Us

Hi, I'm Alok and this is where I publicly document my work and learning journey. Every project I build, I break it down into structured checkpoints. You can take these courses and build it from scratch. We also have a developer tools marketplace - a collection of tools I have built, available for you to use in your own projects and workflows.
