Hey, I'm Jay Kikani
Software Developer
Overview
I ship quickly and value simplicity—so everything I build remains clear, dependable, and easy to scale.
That's the standard I hold myself to : systems people trust, without unnecessary complexity.
Since December 2023, Payload has been my go-to CMS; it's a central role in how I deliver flexible, production-ready platforms.
