An animated stand-in for Nganba, until a real photo arrives.

Hi, I'm Nganba

I'm a full-stack developer from Imphal, Manipur, based in Bengaluru. For over four years I've built software across the whole stack: PHP backends in CodeIgniter and Laravel, WordPress, React, Next.js and Vue frontends, and lately AI agents that talk to customers over WhatsApp and voice, using voice platforms like ElevenLabs and Cartesia.

I've worked on airport display systems, enterprise HR tools, payment platforms and healthcare websites. I care about the parts people see and the parts they don't: clean architecture, fast pages and code the next developer can read.

I work AI-native, with Claude Code, Google Antigravity, Codex and OpenCode in my daily workflow. That means faster delivery, while the architecture and quality decisions stay mine.

Questions clients ask

What does a typical project cost?

It depends on scope. Send a short brief and you'll get a clear estimate, broken down by stage.

How long does a project take?

Most marketing sites take 3 to 6 weeks and most web apps 6 to 12 weeks. You'll get a timeline before we start.

Which time zones do you work with?

I'm in India (IST) and overlap with UK and European working hours, plus early mornings for US teams.

Can you work with our existing codebase?

Yes. Much of my work has been extending, fixing and speeding up existing PHP (CodeIgniter and Laravel), WordPress and Vue systems.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, happy to before we discuss details.
