BuildWithRani

My hub for documenting the systems I build and the decisions behind them.

INTRODUCTION

The story behind BuildWithRani

BuildWithRani began with a simple need: one place to document the systems I was building and the decisions behind them.

I realized that building isolated features wasn’t enough — I wanted to understand how systems are structured end to end, from APIs to UI flows.

That led me to build BuildWithRani as a content-driven platform, intentionally kept simple and static to prioritize clarity, structure, and long-term ownership.

The site is designed to evolve alongside my projects, serving as a living record of how I approach building and documenting software systems.
