A developer who leads, and stays
Ankush is hands-on and accountable. He sets the architecture, reviews what the team ships, and is the one senior person answerable for each product. He founded Behind Methods in 2011 and has built it around a simple promise: take a small number of clients, learn their codebase deeply, and stay for the long haul. Some of those relationships are more than a decade old.
What he is known for
Modernizing the software a business already runs on, without a rewrite and without downtime. Ankush brings legacy PHP, Laravel, and WordPress systems current, safely, and now leads delivery the AI-native way: agentic AI as the primary build method, with senior human review on every change. It is the speed of a much larger team with one experienced owner accountable for the result.
