Fixed price or no project
Hourly billing pays a freelancer to be slow. Every engagement is a written scope and a written number — agreed before work starts, honoured after.
“An agency” is a nice word for one person who answers.
SKEdgeloop is a studio of exactly one. The person who scopes your build designs it, builds it, launches it and answers your questions about it. Above is the whole org chart.
Hello
I'm Santanu.
I build websites for people whose reputation is their livelihood — law firms, clinics, consultants, trades, studios. Before this I spent years on the unglamorous end of engineering: real-time computer vision on edge hardware — 200-camera rollouts, 4K people counting, low-latency trading pipelines — the kind of work where “roughly right at some point” is useless and the system must not blink.
That's why the websites come out serious. I've spent too long on systems where a five-second failure is expensive to hand over a client site that falls over on a Monday morning.
Away from the desk: keeping 12 live sites healthy at 99.2% uptime, reading longwinded systems papers so you don't have to, and very occasionally posting the build process to @skedgeloop.

How the studio operates
Four principles, non-negotiable.
Own the whole stack
No proprietary platform that evaporates if we part ways. You get code, design files and credentials. My job is to be worth hiring again, not to hold anything hostage.
Earn trust with proof, not promises
12 live sites, uptime tracked, AI systems you can open and test yourself. Claims here are the ones a client can check — the rest is conversation.
Say “not right for it”
Certain things proceed unchanged: if the fit isn't there, I say so early and point you somewhere better. A wrong project damages both of us; a kind “pass” earns more than a lukewarm website.
What clients said — the systems side
Words from people who ran real stakes.
“60% latency cut on the matching engine, zero downtime migration — and documentation you can actually use.”
“4K people counting on hardware we thought incapable — accuracy up 3 points.”
“A pre-launch streaming stack review that surfaced issues a year old. The system's been rock solid since.”
“200 cameras, 3 weeks, zero rewrites — at half the hardware budget.”
