Building in Public: My Journey from Side Projects to Real Impact

September 1, 2025 (1d ago)

Hey! I'm Tushit, and I've been building stuff on the internet for a while now.

At 18, I've shipped over 15 projects - from anime streaming sites to AI-powered bio links. But here's what I've learned: the best projects solve problems you actually have.

Take Webios - I was tired of complicated deployment processes, so I built a free Netlify alternative. Now 150+ developers use it daily. Or Sushinime - I wanted a clean anime streaming experience, ended up handling 500+ concurrent viewers.

const mindset = {
  see_problem: true,
  build_solution: true,
  ship_fast: true,
  iterate_based_on_users: true,
};

The coolest part? Adding AI to everything. Whether it's generating websites with Sushi Web or creating study materials with Scholiast, AI amplifies what's possible.

Currently at BCIT studying Computer Systems and working as a Junior Software Engineer at Durable. The journey's just getting started.
