I build fast, responsive React, WordPress, and Shopify applications — currently leading development as Dy. Manager at a fintech firm, with freelance builds and AI-driven automation on the side. Past work has cut load times by 30% and downtime by 40%.
Most clients come to me with a reference site or a half-finished store. I take it from there — fully, not in pieces.
I'm Ankur Makavana, a React developer and full-stack engineer based in Ahmedabad, India, with 12+ years building and maintaining responsive web applications. I currently lead web development as Dy. Manager at Navadhan Capital Pvt. Ltd, after senior roles at Vrixty, VNU Software, Limbic Root, and Macron Technocrats.
Alongside that, I take on freelance WordPress and Shopify projects on Fiverr — theme setup, custom plugin development, and increasingly, AI-driven automation for content, SEO, and site upkeep. Corporate web app or client store, the goal stays the same: clean code, a fast interface, and less manual work once it ships.
Measured outcomes from full-time roles, not just client reviews.
Faster page load times, driven by efficient React and database queries.
Less system downtime through proactive monitoring and fast issue resolution.
Junior developers mentored, lifting team productivity by 25%.
Higher customer satisfaction from tailored, well-built web applications.
Full-time roles, current and past, alongside freelance client work.
Leading custom web application development end to end — interface design, database performance, and CI/CD delivery for client-facing products.
Mentored junior developers and turned mockups into working sites using HTML, JavaScript, AJAX, and JSON.
Resolved critical defects, optimized performance bottlenecks, and supported PHP back-end development.
Modernized legacy codebases and fixed bugs ahead of deployment across cross-functional projects.
Built and unit-tested core functionality in HTML and CSS environments from the ground up.
EDUCATION — B.Sc.I.T, Saurashtra University, 2009–2012
