Work
Software I designed and built, and the brand work that came before it.
Featured
SignalScout: sourced outreach, or a blank field
A B2B research tool that turns a lead CSV into cold-email openers, each with a source URL, a date and a confidence level. When it doesn't know, it says nothing.
Window: a store where nothing is for sale
Fourteen categories, 350 products, an empty cart that never checks out. Built for my mother, who could not stop shopping online.
BapsOS: Windows 98, rebuilt in a browser tab
A Windows 98 simulator with a shell called Fen98 and 27 working applications, running on a Patil Pentium II at 400 MHz with 128.0 MB of RAM.
Engineering
Music by Baps: three releases and a lot of shaders
The label site for my own music. Three releases, songs about sweeteners and compliance, and more WebGL than a page with three items needs.
Cringe: a dating app designed to keep you single
An AI rewrites your profile honestly instead of flatteringly. Some of the people in your deck are not people, and the app tells you so.
Doveborn: neither letter opens until both are sealed
A weekly letter between two people. You cannot read theirs until you have written yours, and the prompt model never sees a word either of you wrote.
Lexborn: stop studying, start speaking
Voice practice for English speakers learning another language. Seven languages, three personas each, memory that survives the session, and flashcards built from the words you couldn't say.
Echoborn: pinch to play
A hand-played instrument in a browser tab. Hand tracking, synthesis and visuals, with no account, no backend and no data leaving the device.
PokeGPT: proving a GPT could call a real API
A custom GPT wired to the PokeAPI through Actions. A personal Pokedex, and an excuse to find out what happens when a language model has to obey a REST schema.
UX Design GPT: six years of client work in a chat box
A custom GPT trained on more than six years of my design practice. 758 sales, 4.8 stars from 17 reviews, and a price of whatever you feel like.

What my clients have to say...
“Bapu, you went above and beyond everything that I asked for. I'm completely blown away, to be honest. I'm just floored at how good this (brand identity) is.”
Donn Felker
Founder of Caster.io, Consultant, Author of Freelancing Tactics.
“The brand identity that Bapu has created for me, is absolutely futureproof, and helps me understand how to harness my brand, and stick to it.”
Gustavo Imhof
Founder of CXAhead, #1 Best-Selling Author, CX 30 Under 30
“Baps is a pleasure to work with. He is probably the most innovative person I've ever dealt with, constantly leveraging the latest technologies and coming up with new and improved ways of working. His work is always thoroughly considered and of the highest quality, thinking of things many would never consider. He's had a profound effect on how I approach work.”
“Working with Baps is always a great experience. It's always very transparent and straight forward. You know what you're getting and it's always top level results. He provides great updates along the way and from my experience, is always on time or ahead of schedule.”
“I highly recommend Baps for projects that require both strong development and design skills. He excels in both areas, ensuring the final product looks and functions exactly as intended. He consistently went above and beyond expectations while delivering on time. Baps is talented, reliable, and a pleasure to work with.”
“I met Baps through a mutual connection less than a year ago. At first, he was introduced to me in order to help me simply redesign the branding for my startup, GOLZ TV. Since then, the work he's done has been at such a high quality that he's now contracted to work with our project long term and has already started making great strides with the design of the core product itself. I'm excited to see where our mobile app will be under his guidance, once development gets underway. Nothing but great things to say about my time working with Baps.”
