Sketch plugins
Sketch App is a popular designer tool used to build UI and Interactions. I have designed and developed some utility plugins like Sketch Isometric, Looper and Single Border. They have been received very well by the designer community. I also built an experimental plugin called Sketch Play to generate game play from the creativity suite’s UI. Please find more details below.
Looper
Looper is a sketch plugin that helps automate duplication of groups and layers. One can control properties like Rotate, Scale and Opacity while duplicating. This powerful combination enables artists and designers to create interesting geometric and organic patterns.
Stats: Monthly active (MAU): ~28,812 | Overall usage since launch (Apr 8, 2017 – Apr 8, 2018): 434,973

Featured:
Sketch App: “Build beautiful patterns and illustrations out of your objects with the Looper Sketch plugin.”
Sketch Hunt: “This is a really interesting plugin because it can create some wild visual effects and patterns in a way that you might not usually consider Sketch to be good at.”
Sketch Tricks: “Looper is an interesting new Sketch plugin which will help you create geometric and organic patterns.”
Slim-ent: “Graphic designers may find more use for this plugin than web designers, but it can save a lot of time looping through repetitive scaling/duplication tasks.”

Sketch Isometric
Isometric views help visualize layers and often is a neat tool to communicate complex app structures. Sketch Isometric is a plugin that helps generate isometric views from Artboards and Rectangles in Sketch app.
