Built by a
Developer,
for Builders.
1o is a solo developer and freelancing agency founded by Rohit Kamble — a full-stack engineer and AI enthusiast building products from Kolhapur, India.
Our Story
How 1o Started
1o started with a simple belief: that a single determined developer can build products that matter. Founded during the final year of a Computer Science degree at D.Y. Patil College of Engineering and Technology, Kolhapur — it began not with funding or a big team, but with a laptop, an internet connection, and an obsessive curiosity for building things.
The name "1o" represents both "one" and "zero" — the binary foundation of all software, and a nod to the idea that powerful things are built from simple, fundamental units. It also reflects our philosophy: start minimal, iterate ruthlessly, and expand.
What started as freelance projects quickly evolved into a full-service digital agency offering frontend engineering, AI integration, and complete full-stack product development. Today, 1o has shipped products used by students at IIT Bombay, powered business websites for engineering firms, and is building AI-native applications in productivity and fitness.
Vision & Mission
What Drives Us
Vision
To be the go-to engineering partner for ambitious founders and businesses seeking to ship fast, scale smart, and integrate AI meaningfully into their products.
Mission
To bring startup-grade engineering quality and speed to every project we touch — regardless of its size. From MVPs to production systems, we build with the same precision and care.
Philosophy
Developer-first. Product-obsessed. Outcome-driven. We write clean code, ship often, and let the work speak.
Core Values
The Builder Mindset
Code-First Thinking
We treat code as craft. Every function, every component is written with intention, performance, and maintainability in mind.
Builder Mindset
We ship. We iterate. We improve. Perfectionism is the enemy of progress — we believe in getting to v1 and refining from there.
Outcome-Driven
We measure success not in lines of code but in real-world impact. Does it solve the problem? Does it scale? Does it delight?
Always Shipping
From solo MVPs to complex multi-team platforms — we maintain a relentless bias toward delivering and deploying.

The Person Behind 1o
Rohit is a Computer Science & Data Science student at D.Y. Patil College of Engineering and Technology, graduating in 2026. He brings hands-on experience from a Full Stack Web Development internship at IIT Bombay, where he contributed to SmartLearn Hub — an LMS serving 100+ students — and freelance contract work at Sharp Engineering.
He builds with the MERN stack, loves TypeScript, and has a growing obsession with AI integration — specifically how LLMs can be embedded into real workflows to solve non-trivial problems. His project ApplyFlow is a testament to that: a full NLP engine built from scratch using 60+ regex patterns for job application classification.
When he's not writing code, he's researching AI papers, building side projects, or thinking about the next product that needs to exist.
