I had never written a line of JavaScript, Astro, HTML, or CSS.

I have built my portfolio site in four days — with a working AI-assisted scoping form, prompt-injection handling, signed & rate-limited requests, and bot protection, all researched and built from scratch.

15 years ago, I started in FP&A. Somewhere along the way I started learning SQL and Python — and that same instinct just shipped numerous projects on several tools/technologies.

Different tools every time. Same process:

  1. Break the problem down
  2. Build in the right order
  3. Catch my own mistakes before they ship
  4. Continuous improvement

That's what I'd want any team to know before the tool-stack question comes up: the tools change — and now more frequently than ever. The way I work doesn't.

Have a look — anshul-marele.pages.dev. Open to full-time roles — and genuinely open to feedback.

Anshul Marele

Convert messy business data and ambiguous problems into clear, actionable decisions leaders can trust — using analytics, automation, and compelling storytelling to make the impact visible.

How I work
  • Don't compete with AI at writing code — orchestrate it, and know when not to trust it.
  • Problem → Plan → Design → Build → Validate → Improve → Deliver.
  • Good solutions come from clarity, structure working, business sense, curiosity and relentless execution, not code alone.
  • Built to survive the handover — solutions the next person can actually maintain.

Case in point — this page took 4 days, built with no prior web-development background, using the exact process above.

How I work with you

  1. Clarify the decision, the audience and what success must look like.
  2. Design and build the smallest useful solution with AI, data and automation.
  3. Validate it with the people who will use it, then hand it over clearly.

What you receive

  • Trusted analysis and decision-ready insight.
  • Practical automation that reduces repetitive work.
  • A clear story, dashboard or tool people can use independently.

FULL-TIMEPERMANENT ROLELike You need an owner who can create sustained impact.Or Someone who can align people, data, decisions and delivery over time.

Build durable impact, not one-off output.

I connect business context, people, data and delivery so a useful idea becomes a capability the organisation can rely on.

How I create impact

  1. Understand the business context, stakeholders and decisions that need to improve.
  2. Create alignment around a practical plan, then build with disciplined execution.
  3. Validate adoption, strengthen the operating rhythm and improve what matters.

What changes

  • Better decisions through trustworthy, accessible insight.
  • More efficient processes through thoughtful automation.
  • A stronger bridge between business needs, data and technology.

Built responsibly: I treat data security, privacy and responsible AI as part of quality—not as a final checklist.
