Sankalp Shukla
i'm a builder, researcher, developer, editor, and generalist — jack of all trades, master of none.
i've worked across web development, content, research, design, video, startups, and automation. i usually start with something i don't know how to do, learn what i need, and figure out how to make it work.
i like turning ideas into things people can actually see, use, or experience.
life's motto: fuck around, find out.
expremaxxing is my agenda — experimenting at bigger levels, always.
research → idea → build → experiment → repeat
Selected work
a collection of things i've built, designed, researched, edited, and worked on.
random people. real conversations.
findparallel.vercel.appParallel is a web app built around a simple idea: sometimes the best people you can meet are the people you would never normally find.
it connects two people and gives them a way to chat before meeting.
built with Next.js, with AI and email integrations.

A freelance ecommerce project for Rivera Jewels.
built using Next.js with Supabase as the backend.

A freelance website built for an IV bottle manufacturer based in Chhattisgarh, built with Next.js.
view project →Things i've built
not everything i build needs to become a startup. some things are experiments. some are games. some are weird ideas i wanted to try.
an AI-powered testing tool — give it scribbled notes or photos, and it asks you questions based on them.
play quizzycat →a tiny web experiment based around one rule: blink and you lose. tracks your face in real time to catch the blink.
challenge me — i'm currently at 11 minutes.
try it →a Ninja Hatori-style multiplayer game — cut fruit using your fingers, tracked live through your camera.
challenge me — think you can cut faster?

i didn't start as a developer. i started with curiosity. then i learned editing. then design. then animation. then web development. and i've kept adding skills whenever a project needed them.
edited content for multiple Shark Tank India brands, including Fitfeast, Aseem Shakti, Better Nutrition, D'Chica, and more.
i created video content for Slashy, a YC startup. the work involved understanding the product, researching the subject, developing the idea, and turning it into a finished video.
video work created for Groundzero AI. research, scripting, editing, and production.
one of my favourite pieces of work. i created this video for a competition, taking the project from idea to research to final edit.
tip: bump the quality to 720p or higher in the Drive player.
one of my earlier projects. i researched, scripted, and edited a video explaining a difficult quantum topic in a way that was easier to understand. this was also where i was learning video editing seriously.
animation work made for product launches.
tip: bump the quality to 720p or higher in the Drive player.
motion work animating brand logos.
tip: bump the quality to 720p or higher in the Drive player.
a couple of videos where i explain something on camera — bad camera quality, but researched, scripted, and edited by me.
tip: bump the quality to 720p or higher in the Drive player.
Research
i've been researching things since i was 14.
research was actually where all of this started. i worked as a researcher for small YouTube channels, spending hours digging through Wikipedia, encyclopedias, articles, papers, videos, and whatever else i could find.
i genuinely enjoy going down research rabbit holes — if i'm honest, researching is probably my favourite hobby. give me a question i don't know the answer to and i'll probably spend the next few hours trying to figure it out.
over time, research became something i use across everything else i do:
content · products · startups · videos · marketing · technology
Experience
started working as a researcher for small YouTube channels. researched topics, collected information, found interesting angles, and helped turn research into content.
worked as a blog writer for Aimate and Cleverly Creative, two non-profit organizations, mainly creating content while also learning how organizations communicate and build audiences.
started with Canva and gradually moved into Figma and Illustrator. worked on thumbnails, logos, graphics, branding, and digital content.
started with CapCut and eventually learned After Effects. worked on videos for clients, startups, educational content, and personal projects.
cofounded Nodify, a no-code agency. worked with three big clients — Arjun Vaidya, Prateek Maheshwari, and more — created their launch videos, and handled pretty much everything myself. the founder was generous enough to give me a year of Framer and HeyReach for free.
joined Tazzacart as a founding team member. led multiple social media campaigns and worked as a designer.
core team member at The Petfort, working across operations, growth, and outreach. helped the company raise ₹1 crore from a local investor.
today i build websites and web applications for myself and clients, while also quietly building something of my own in stealth. i've worked with technologies including Next.js and Supabase, and use AI tools extensively to speed up development and experimentation.
How i work
i learn whatever the problem requires.
i don't have a fixed skillset. if something needs to be researched, i research it. if it needs to be designed, i learn the design. if it needs a website, i build it. if it needs a video, i edit it. if i don't know how to do something, i learn.
that's probably the most consistent thing about me.
A little more about me
i'm naturally curious. i've always been the kind of person who can disappear into a random Wikipedia rabbit hole for hours.
i like understanding how things work, but i'm equally interested in actually making things.
that's why my work looks a little scattered from the outside. one project might be a web app. another might be a video. another might be a random experiment. another might be a startup.
there's actually one common thread: i saw something interesting and wanted to figure it out.
Currently
i'm looking for interesting problems.
i'm especially interested in working with people who are building something ambitious and need someone who can wear multiple hats.
i don't need to be given a perfectly defined job. give me a problem and i'll figure out what i need to learn to solve it.
right now i'm freelancing on client projects, and also quietly building something of my own as a stealth builder — more on that soon.
research · content · editing · design · development · ideas · experimentation
Let's build something.
i'd love to hear about it.
