Web Art
Web has evolved from a medium of text to a medium of visualizations. This collection includes some of my best experiments I did with newer web standards including CSS3 and Canvas elements.
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Hello there!
I'm Alok Prateek, a full-stack web
developer and graphic designer.
Send all your mails at my brand new id i@alokprateek.in
I enjoy turning less ordinary problems into simple, beautiful and intuitive designs, that is delight to the user. When I'm not coding or pushing pixels, you could find me taking my dog, Zoe for a walk in the park. I also play an addictive game - Marvel Contest of the Champions whenever I'm free.
I am born and brought up in Noida, and completed my schooling from Delhi Public School. It provided me great exposure and helped me excel in my field of interest. I always loved the idea of connecting known facts and recalling them, which made a great quizzer. I helped my school team to win many a times in quizzes and conducted dozens. An effort for which my school made me President of Quiz Society. I developed a keen interest in web and graphic designing early on. An experience which helped me craft many posters and websites for school events. I also have a fair knowledge of German language, which I have studied until B2 Level.
Currently, I am actively looking for full-time development role. I just finished pursuing an engineering course in Information Technology. I'm also developed a keen interest in openAPI and creating a cool project based on that. My future plans include pursuing research in developing AI powered user interfaces. And perhaps a trip to Antarctica before the glaciers melt or the penguins migrate.
I unfortunenately have redesigned my blog eleventh time over, but could never take time out for writing, but do surely have a look at my empty blog...
I've decided to solve this problem of empty blog by bringing in content from social media via API's, this is surely be a task for June'19.
I am a full-stack web developer with over ten years of experience.
I have maintained, developed and launched multiple projects from scratch. I carried out branding, the design of UI/UX, and the development of its back-end and front-end codebases.
My current toolset includes node, React, Vue, TypeScript, PWA's, Express Framework and all the other various frameworks, libraries and technologies related to them.
I also used to work on websites using PHP codebases and running on Apache/NGINX servers. I used popular framework Drupal and WordPress. I can still do smaller projects using these, if you really want me to.
Currently I'm learning Dart and Flutter, Google Cloud Anthos. OpenAPI has piqued my interest and I'm currently contributing to several open source solutions related to it.
Feel free to ask me any questions. I can help you in your project with everything from the branding, design, UI mock-ups, back-end and front-end web development. I can also fix the design and upgrade older code bases. I can also install & configure the application on staging/production environments.
Call me a Swiss Army Knife in terms of web development.
I specialize in applications written in both React or Vue. Recently, I became a huge fan of one-way data flow and Redux-like architecture, also typed languages like TypeScript.
My current experience and skills in front-end include:
In back-end development, my current stack involves NodeJS and Express Framework, or as alternates Meteor or Total.JS
To improve the development speed, performance and reliability, I have changed languages and frameworks already multiple times, from PHP to Ruby and now to node.js.
Luckily, my experience and lessons I learned while doing all those projects, will stay with me and be useful forever, no matter what framework I will use in the next project;
What I can do is:
During my time I have built and released tens of websites.
Thus, not only I have coded their back-end and front-end code, but often I also had to care about other things needed in a successful web application:
Any successful project needs strong brand identity and beautiful but usable designs.
Thus, I have keen focus on the design, UI and branding of the project:
Over the years I've hit my head on every wall and learned many ways of doing things. I've designed these projects over course of many tireless days and sleepless nights. Each project was a challenge and I learned something new with each iteration. Some allowed me to experiment with the latest and greatest the tech offers, which taught me well. My special thanks to my father for his perseverance during all those years.
Web has evolved from a medium of text to a medium of visualizations. This collection includes some of my best experiments I did with newer web standards including CSS3 and Canvas elements.
Graphics are essential for web as they engage, fascinate and connect public to your brand. I design various graphic elements for the web as well as print media. This collection gallery displays many my graphic design works.
The most essential element of building one's own brand is by a website. This collection shows some of my recent works. If you want me to build one for you too contact me through the Contact me form below.
These are some random shell scripts that I find useful in my workflow. As well as random gist’s and code pieces that could not fit elsewhere on the site.
I'm currently available for work.
If you have a project that you'd like to discuss, then please contact me via the form below or write to me
at i@alokprateek.in.
If you'd like to talk about
anything else you can find me on social networks (Actually I'm on many, but I do not use all of them). A
good ol' fashioned mail is always welcome, because I like reading and writing long mails as I do not have
much time for writing shorter replies.
Of course I do not always work alone. If you already have an existing team for your project, but still need someone to help it, contact me. I’ll fit into your needs.
You can contact me or view my presence on the following social platforms
