Ajay Shukla — Platform Engineer and Creator of Local Bridge

Hey, I'm Ajay Shukla

Platform Engineer & Indie Maker

I build tools that solve real problems for developers and small teams. Local Bridge is my first commercial product — built in public, shipped fast.

💡 Why I built Local Bridge

I kept hitting the same problem at work and on side projects — I had files on my machine that someone else needed right now. The fastest options were uploading to Google Drive, spinning up a Python HTTP server (with zero access control), or configuring nginx just to share a build folder.

None of those felt right. Cloud uploads waste time when the files already exist locally. python -m http.serverhas zero access control. And nginx is overkill for "share this dist folder for 30 minutes."

So I built Local Bridge — a single binary that turns any folder into a password-protected, browser-friendly share with a public URL. No uploads, no deployment, no server config. One command and it just works.

I'm a platform engineer by trade, working across the stack with Go, TypeScript, AWS, and Kubernetes. Local Bridge is my first commercial product, and I'm building it in the open — shipping fast, listening to feedback, and iterating weekly.

🎯 How I build

Ship fast, iterate faster
Get it in front of users, learn what breaks, fix it the same week.
No black boxes
Publish security architecture, verify integrity publicly. If you can't audit it, don't trust it.
Solve one problem well
Local Bridge does folder sharing. Not tunneling, not hosting, not CI/CD. One tool, one job.
Developer-first
CLI over GUI. Scriptable. Works in CI pipelines. Built for people who live in the terminal.
