Hello! My name is Neel Shah, and I am a freelance software engineer and UI/UX designer with over 12 years of professional experience.
I partner with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations to create cutting-edge solutions with senior-level technical execution and no agency overhead.
I work with your existing stack and use the latest software development technology to deliver more value per dollar.
This golf course waitlist company wanted to modernize their admin dashboard with analytics and reporting that proved their value to their clients.

This ER admin staff scheduling company wanted their popular app brought into the modern era! With the help of my visual design buddy Logan LaBo, we designed and implemented a sleek new interface!
This personal trainer wanted a custom application to make his clients more engaged and motivate them to achieve their goals.
In my work with this email marketing platform, I was asked to design and implement a honeypot web application for potential clients showing email opens in real-time based on tracking pixel requests.

This enterprise-level email marketing tool was going through a major overhaul and needed some structure at the lowest level. I worked with the company's design and engineering teams to implement their new design system!
We hired Neel to help us with some AI and data initiatives. We needed somebody who could solve problems for us really quickly and that's exactly what he was able to do. What really impressed me with Neel was his ability to ramp up on our code base and gain context so quickly. He's very much a self starter and was able to take control and lead the project we needed.

I worked with Neel for several years at MaxPoint, Valassis, and Vericast, first as teammates and later as collaborators after we'd both moved on.
Neel wore two hats on our team: engineer and manager. Together, we shipped multiple applications for complex digital advertising workflows and built a durable, reusable design system underneath them so the surface stayed consistent as the surface area grew. He was thoughtful, curious, and genuinely open to feedback. The kind of partner who makes the work better and the team better.
When I later needed to stand up a design system in a new role at a different company, Neel was my first call. He worked directly with my designers and front-end engineers, understood what they actually needed, and had the system architected and running faster than I expected.
I trust him, I enjoy working with him, and I recommend him without reservation.
