01 About me

One person, two worlds

I'm Nishnath Thaweesha. I've been building for the web since long before the AI wave — this very domain has been online since 2013. Most people pick a side: logic or creativity. I never could, so I mastered both.

Today I run Duqit Labs, my digital solutions startup, and a family of self-built products — from an ADHD productivity toolkit to a pet-photography community. Behind the scenes: over 1,000 projects delivered, backed by fourteen years on Fiverr with an all-time 5-star rating.

And when I put the keyboard down, I pick up a camera: the same obsession with detail that makes clean code also makes sharp portraits and cinematic films.
