He did not quit his job to start freelancing. He started after work. Quietly. One small project at a time.
Abhijit Biswas builds and improves websites and web applications. He helps businesses turn ideas into clean, functional digital products that actually work for users and teams.
But it did not begin with big builds.
He started freelancing while working full time, taking small projects after hours. Most of them were simple fixes. Broken layouts. Features not working. Sites that needed cleaning up.
Over time, those small fixes turned into long term client relationships.
What motivated him was the freedom to build things end to end. To not just touch a part of a project, but to see the full journey and the real impact it created.
One of the hardest lessons came around payments.
Some clients delayed. Some avoided paying altogether.
Instead of reacting emotionally, he changed his process.
He began setting clear scopes, defining milestones, and putting written agreements in place before starting any work. It reduced misunderstandings and protected his time and effort.
The real shift, though, was not financial.
It was when clients who once gave him a small task started trusting him with long term work. That movement from “just a freelancer” to a reliable partner is something he is proud of.
Advice for others:
“Start small and focus on doing solid work, not chasing big titles or fast money. Be clear in communication, respect your time, and let consistency build your reputation.”
“What stands out is Qwego’s focus on honest freelance stories and practical support, not just highlight reels. It feels grounded and relatable for people building their careers step by step.”
