Hi, I'm Ankit Gade.

A
Self-driven, quick starter, passionate programmer with a curious mind who enjoys solving a complex and challenging real-world problems.

About

I’m a dedicated tech enthusiast and self-learner who has built a strong foundation in web technologies. My journey began with teaching myself various programming languages and tools, and today, I work extensively with JavaScript frameworks and libraries, WordPress, PHP, and Go. This hands-on learning approach has fueled my passion for technology, driving me to explore new areas and continuously improve.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned product companies like rtCamp, 10up, and OnTheGoSystems. The products developed by these companies are used by millions of people daily, and I’ve been fortunate to be part of the teams that brought them to life. Being involved in such large-scale projects has given me invaluable experience in delivering reliable and impactful solutions for users.

Currently, I’m expanding my knowledge into emerging fields like Blockchain and AI. These cutting-edge technologies are opening new doors for innovation, and I’m eager to explore how they can be integrated into the future of product development.
