About Me
My full name is Arvind Kumar Thakur and i am a web developer with 7+ years of hands on experience in designing/developing Web Applications. I provide a full website consultancy, design and development services based on years of experience in web development.
Before starting as a full-time freelancer i worked in 3 software companies in India. I worked majorly in PHP/MYSQL applications. Due to certain health issues i had to leave my job and try my hand in freelancing. With the course of time it has started to work and right now the freelancing is my major source of income and i am very much satisfied with it, i would say.
I like travelling, spending time with friends, reading books, watching movies and playing carom with my wife. I would want to establish a web development company in near future. I want to travel the most of Europe, America and Australia. I shall try to turn this blog of mine and a few others into high traffic websites to be capable of earning high ad revenues ( it is working already 
). Also, i would want my website http://www.givebackindia.com turning into a most popular ‘online charity mall’ in India, similar to igive.com and givebackamerica.com, while targeting Indian user-base and helping charities operating in India.
My new hobby is photography and you can view some of my recent work here.

Here’s a list of my popular works.

Built on the top of CakePHP the “RFDF Exchange” is a community composed of students, mentors, investors, and others that believe in the mission of improving the lives of farm-workers through the power and resources of business. Once after receiving mock-ups and requirement specifications i did every bit of code myself. Creating DB structure, programming screens, adding social networking like features, messaging, contacts, searches, forums, multiple image photo uploads, article pages, news and investments, shopping cart and so on. The website uses “thick-boxes” for almost all add/edit/delete/messaging/adding contact like tasks, advanced AJAX has been used to perform these tasks. BBCode with YouTube video support, thickbox/ajax window on the top of another thickbox/ajax window, recent activity like facebook, contacts selections with categories like facebook etc had been some exciting and challenging additions to the site. |

This is another single-handed effort of mine. GiveBackIndia is a website which provides users a way to support charities based in India while doing day to day online shopping at the supported affiliate stores. The concept is quite simple. You purchase the product and a charity receives commissions for sending the purchaser to their store. The purchaser does’t have to pay any extra cost to go to their store through GiveBackIndia.. As i said did everything (coded/designed) you can see working on this website. Built using CakePHP, My SQL, AJAX, Scriptaculous |
