Sarwech Shar Portfolio

👋 I’m Sarwech, a web developer and startup founder. I've helped early stage startups build MVPs (in React/JS), get their products in front of users and find traction.

If you'd like to work together or discuss a project, let's chat.

🏗 Things I’ve built

📊   Nocodelytics - analytics for no-coders

Nocodelytics is a SaaS tool for owners of Webflow sites to help them easily track user engagement.

I built the frontend in React and TypeScript, the backend in Node.js, Express, with GraphQL and PostgreSQL (handled by Hasura) and deployed onto Heroku.

🚀   Karman Space - crowdfunding platform

Karman was a crowdfunding platform - sort of like Kickstarter for space. I worked with the founder and designer to build the frontend and backend. The team secured $25k in seed funding and ended up pivoting to Spaced Ventures.

Built with React, TypeScript, Apollo Graph, Hasura and deployed onto Heroku.

Aaron Burnett - Founder, Karman Space

“As the lead developer, Sarwech excelled in building our web app on both the front and back-end. His previous experience in non-development roles proved critical to understanding, writing, and implementing business requirements. It has been a pleasure working with Sarwech from the very beginning.”

🥗   Nummy - photo menus for restaurants

Nummy is a food-tech app that lets foodies meet others over virtual dinners. They also built a Covid-19 restaurant guide to highlight restaurants that are opening up again.

The project I built was a React web app that let restaurants showcase a photo version of their menus. Each food or drink item has a photo to show what they actually look like and users can filter/search for specific restaurants and meals.

Built with React, TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL, Hasura and deployed onto Heroku.

Yiran Qin - Founder, Nummy

“Sarwech worked for my start-up (Nummy) as a contract full stack developer. He was organised, skilled, and an overall pleasure to work with. He was able to understand the project brief quickly and flexible for any last minute changes. Sarwech was able to execute the tasks given to a high standard within the set timeframe. I would highly recommend him for any developer role.”

💬   Things people have said

Florian Herrengt - Co-Founder, Specian

“I worked with Sarwech on several projects. He is friendly, patient but most of all a swift learner. When I first met Sarwech, he was a BA playing with Excel macros. His thirst for automation and efficiency led him to teach himself how to program. Today, he’s a skilled Javascript developer ready to tackle big problems.”

Joseph Race - Lead Developer, Lightful (former manager)

“Sarwech is a smart, engaged developer and a friendly, thoughtful team member. He is always keen to learn and try new things and I was consistently impressed by how he took on tasks outside his comfort zone and delivered. Coming from a Business Analyst background, he brought an important perspective to the work we do as developers as well as across the wider product team. He has been a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him.”

Ian Hurlock - Director of Customer Success, Growth & Marketing (former manager)

Transitioning from Business Analyst to Developer, Sarwech has a unique ability to understand the balance between the needs of the business commercially and the needs of our customers/users. He applies critical thinking when approaching any project, communicates with clarity throughout and is a true partner when it comes to solution development with cross functional teams like Marketing, Growth and Customer Success. I valued our partnership in that Sarwech always took the time to explain the impact/trade-offs of the way he was approaching his work through the lens of a customer. I always felt at ease knowing that he would have the voice of our customers in his mind.”
