Founder & Lead Curator
Anup Karanjkar
UI/UX Designer & Developer with 14+ years of hands-on production experience. The person behind every product recommendation, every tool review, and every line of code on wowhow.cloud.
A practicing developer, not just a curator.
I am not a marketplace operator who lists products based on affiliate commissions or vendor pitches. I am a practicing designer and developer who has spent over fourteen years building production software -- from enterprise platforms handling millions of users to solo SaaS products built from scratch over weekends.
Currently, I work at Astreya on Lynx, an enterprise AIOps platform where I design and build interfaces that help operations teams manage complex infrastructure at scale. Simultaneously, I run Absomind Technologies as a solo founder, where WOWHOW was born out of the simple realization that developers waste enormous amounts of time rebuilding solved problems.
Every product on wowhow.cloud is personally curated and tested by me in real development workflows. I do not list products I have not used myself. When I say a template saves forty hours, it is because I measured the difference in my own projects. When I recommend a tool, it is because it survived my production environment -- not because someone paid me to say so.
That is the promise behind this entire platform: real experience, real testing, real recommendations from someone who ships code every single day.
