Vikas Awaghade, founder of DuckViz
About

Built by someone who spent 15 years watching analysts rebuild the same dashboard.

DuckViz is solo-operated by Vikas Awaghade — a Frontend Developer who has spent his career building data-intensive UIs for SIEM, observability, and enterprise SaaS products.

Why DuckViz exists

Across fifteen years of shipping frontends — SIEM dashboards, a cross-product design system, infrastructure-as-code visualisations, a data-pipeline observability platform — four different companies, four different stacks. One pattern that never went away:

Someone exports a CSV. Someone else builds the dashboard by hand. The data is stale before the meeting starts. And the cycle repeats every Monday.

Enterprise BI tools are too heavy. Spreadsheets are too manual. And the newer wave of cloud-AI tools wants you to upload your data to a third party before it'll tell you anything useful — which is a non-starter if you're looking at customer records, finance exports, or production logs.

DuckViz is the tool I wished existed on every one of those jobs. You drop a file. AI reads the schema, not your rows. DuckDB-WASM runs the queries inside your browser — same engine data engineers already trust, now without a server. You get a dashboard in seconds, a written report in minutes, and a board deck before the meeting. Your data never leaves your device.

No subscription. No upload. No sales call.

What I bring to it

Fifteen years of frontend architecture for data-intensive products. A long record of shipping — D3-powered lineage graphs, AG-Grid infinite scroll across millions of rows, framework-agnostic component libraries, and real-time monitoring UIs used by operations teams.

The principles behind the product

Your data is yours. AI features see column names and types — never your actual values. Rows stay on your device, in-browser, end of story.

Own your tools. Credits, not subscriptions. Buy what you need. Credits never expire. No auto-renewal, no upgrade-to-unlock.

Ship the product, not the platform. DuckViz publishes a React SDK, a Node SDK, and a CLI — because the dashboard is the easy part. The hard part is not rebuilding it inside your own app.
