I’m Neel Kachhla, an ambitious developer with over 14 years of experience building scalable web applications. I specialize in .NET, CMS platforms like Sitecore and Umbraco, and modern frontend frameworks. I thrive in high-energy teams where continuous learning and collaboration drive outcomes.
Over the years I’ve delivered across travel, retail, charity, and agency projects, from upgrading legacy Umbraco and Sitecore solutions to architecting headless content APIs and disaster recovery in Azure. I am passionate about clean code, mentoring teammates, and leveraging tooling like GitHub Copilot to accelerate delivery while maintaining quality.
