The Genesis of PixelKrafts: Crafting Digital Futures from Pilibhit

In the serene town of Pilibhit, nestled in Uttar Pradesh’s sugarcane belt, something extraordinary was brewing β€” a software startup that aimed to bring cutting-edge technology to the heartland of India.

This is the story of PixelKrafts Software Solutions β€” a bootstrapped digital agency founded by two driven developers, Shuja ur Rahman and Syed Faizan Jeelani. Without Silicon Valley connections, fancy offices, or deep pockets, they built a company that delivers world-class web and mobile solutions with simplicity, precision, and passion.


🌱 Humble Beginnings: From Curiosity to Code

I’m Shuja ur Rahman, and my tryst with technology started in Pilibhit. It all began with a simple question:

"How does a website actually work?"

What followed were countless late nights, a second-hand laptop, and self-taught HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I broke things, fixed them, and repeated the cycle until I built real projects.

In 2017, I moved to Aligarh for my higher education. I pursued both Bachelor's and Master's in Computer Applications (MCA) from Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). Back in Pilibhit, my childhood friend Syed Faizan Jeelani, who was pursuing his B.Tech from Jamia Hamdard, shared my passion for technology with an incredible eye for design and an equal thirst for knowledge.

Together, we started building websites and mobile apps β€” first for fun, then for college events, and eventually for local businesses that couldn’t afford mainstream tech services.

πŸ’¬ β€œWe didn’t have investors or connections β€” just laptops, internet, and relentless curiosity.”

  • Education: MCA, AMU Aligarh
  • Core Expertise: API development, system design, scalable architecture
  • Notable Projects: Kisan.ai, Eye-Blink Detection (OpenCV), AMU PYQ Papers Portal

I love building from scratch β€” taking a problem, dissecting it, and designing efficient, scalable solutions. Whether it’s writing Python for backend services or React for frontends, I enjoy shaping ideas into usable digital products.
