The Story Behind Tools In Use
Hello, and welcome! My name is Sumit Khanna, and I'm the developer behind Tools In Use. This project is my attempt to be the compendium and advisory for as many as "tools"- digital, mechanical, AI/Agentic we can be surrounded with
My Background & Motivation
I'm a software developer with over 12 years of professional experience. As a graduate of one of India's top-tier engineering universities, I've spent my career building robust backend systems for a variety of industries, including Fintech, E-commerce, and Healthcare.
Throughout my work, I've seen the power of well-crafted software to solve complex problems. That experience, particularly in Fintech, gave me the skills to build reliable and accurate tools like the Wealth Calculator you'll find here. This site was born from a personal passion to apply those skills to create a collection of clean, high-quality, and genuinely useful web applications that are free for everyone.
Our Philosophy
Tools In Use is guided by a few core principles:
- Utility First: Every tool on this site is designed to be practical and solve a real-world problem, whether it's for financial planning, education, or daily convenience.
- Simplicity & Speed: We believe in clean, intuitive design. Our tools are built to be fast, responsive, and easy to use without a steep learning curve.
- Trust & Privacy: Your privacy is paramount. We don't ask for unnecessary permissions, and we don't engage in tracking or selling user data. This is a safe space to get things done.
Thank you for stopping by. I'm constantly working on new ideas and improving existing tools. I hope you find this collection valuable, and I welcome any feedback you might have.
