I'm Shusanto Kumar Modak — a full-stack developer with 7+ years in the field, including 2.5 years embedded with a web agency in Illinois. I write clean code, communicate in plain English, and I don't disappear.
Freelance, agency and product work — the kind of track record you can check before you hire.
Most clients come to me with a site that needs building, a site that needs rescuing, or an idea that needs to become software. I handle all three.
Custom themes and builds that load fast and stay maintainable — no 40-plugin stacks, no mystery code.
When no plugin does quite what you need — or the one that does carries 2MB of things you don't.
Applications with real logic behind them — accounts, dashboards, billing, integrations, data.
Source-level accessibility work, not an overlay widget. Audits, remediation and a written conformance summary.
Diagnosing why a site is slow and fixing the cause, rather than installing one more caching plugin on top.
I slot into your team, your tools and your process. Your client never has to know my name.
What I actually built, the decisions behind it, and what it was worth to the business on the other end.
A SaaS product I designed, built and shipped solo: a WordPress builder that turns a prompt into real, editable pages, templates and headers — clean HTML and CSS instead of page-builder markup. Live, with paying customers.
Custom web applications beyond WordPress — Laravel and Node back ends, React, Next.js and Vue front ends, MySQL data models and REST APIs, taken from idea to production.
Accessibility auditing and hands-on remediation for US client sites — keyboard navigation, screen-reader semantics, contrast and forms brought to WCAG 2.1 AA, without overlay widgets.
Two and a half years as the development side of a US agency's care program: updates, security, performance, uptime, redesigns and a constant queue of client requests across 150+ live sites.
Plenty of developers can build what you asked for. Far fewer tell you when what you asked for is the wrong thing, give you a straight answer on timing, and are still around in six months.
Four steps, no mystery. You always know what is happening and what it costs.
A 30-minute call to understand the goal, the constraints and the deadline. You leave it with a written scope and a fixed price or an honest hour estimate.
Work happens on a staging site you can watch. Short written updates at agreed checkpoints, so nothing lands as a surprise at the end.
Cross-browser, mobile, keyboard and screen-reader checks before you see it. Then your round of feedback, with revisions included.
Deployment handled, backups verified, a handover document written. Then 30 days of free post-launch fixes — and a care plan if you want one.
No tutorials, no framework holy wars. Just the things US business owners and agency owners keep asking me.
Nobody makes a website slow on purpose. It happens one reasonable decision at a time. Here's how WordPress sites decay, and the six fixes that move…
Thousands of web accessibility lawsuits and demand letters land on US businesses every year — and small companies are the most common target. Here's…
A field guide for US business owners: the questions that actually separate good developers from expensive ones, the red flags worth walking away…
Free 30-minute call, an honest opinion on scope, and a written quote. No sales pitch — I will tell you if I am not the right fit.
