Full-Stack Engineer · Kochi, India

I build production CRM and ERP systems that businesses actually run on.

Nine months at a delivery consultancy in Kochi. Eight client products shipped across healthcare, hospitality, construction and calibration, on FastAPI and Next.js.

Standards I wrote

Adopted internally

Client work is what I ship. These are what the team builds on. Both were written alongside delivery, not instead of it, and both are now the starting point for new projects.

Next.js Frontend Template

The company standard for new frontends

An opinionated production template that new client frontends start from. I built and documented it on my own. It is not a starter kit, it is the argument for how we build frontends, written down so it survives me.

Backend Conventions Kit

Rules, traps and checklists for starting a backend

A portable folder you copy into a new backend on day one. Every rule in it was paid for once already, by a bug that shipped. The point of copying it is that you do not pay for them again.

    Full-Stack Engineer

    Hybrid Interactive Consultancy LLP · Kochi, India

    Delivery work on line-of-business systems for client companies. Eight products in 9 months, across healthcare, hospitality, construction, calibration, sales and HR, split roughly evenly between backend architecture and frontend implementation.

    • Lead developer on a lead-to-cash CRM for a UAE medical-equipment calibration laboratory: 18 business modules covering sales, work orders, instruments, inventory, procurement, HRM, certificates and audit, built to contractual SLA and performance targets.
    • Designed the multi-branch tenancy model so every purchase order, work log and quotation carries its issuing branch's identity, backed by an append-only audit trail and a snapshot that freezes counterparty details onto issued documents.
    • Built the company's Next.js frontend template on my own: BFF cookie authentication, RBAC, TanStack Query, a Vitest and Playwright suite, and 17 rule guides that document why each decision was made. Co-designed the FastAPI backend template alongside it.
    • Wrote the backend conventions kit new projects now start from, covering permissions, migrations, caching, tenancy, timezones, money handling and state machines, with a checker that fails the commit when documentation drifts from the code.

About

Kochi, India

I am a full-stack engineer at Hybrid Interactive Consultancy in Kochi. Most of my work is line-of-business software: CRM, ERP, hospital and HR systems that a company's daily operations depend on. That means the hard parts are rarely the framework. They are the tenancy model, the audit trail, the state machine that decides what a document can become next, and whether the person after me can still read the code.

I work mostly in FastAPI and Next.js, on a modular monolith pattern with async SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Redis and Celery behind it. Alongside the client work I wrote the two internal standards our new projects start from: the Next.js frontend template, and a backend conventions kit that collects the rules we learned the expensive way.

How I work

  • 01Write for the person debugging this at 2am, not for the person reading it today.
  • 02A document that lies is worse than no document. Date it, or delete it.
  • 03Decide the tenancy, audit and permission model on day one. All three get expensive in month six.
  • 04AI tooling raises how much you ship. It does not lower the bar for what you ship.

Capabilities

6 areas

Backend

Modular monoliths with strict separation between routes, services and data access. Routes hold no business logic. Services own the transaction boundary. Data access never commits.

  • FastAPI
  • async SQLAlchemy 2.0
  • Pydantic v2
  • Alembic
  • Celery
  • REST API design
  • JWT and RBAC
  • Python

Frontend

Product interfaces built on a documented component and data-fetching layer, so the tenth screen costs what the second one did.

  • Next.js App Router
  • React 19
  • TypeScript
  • TanStack Query
  • Zustand
  • Tailwind CSS
  • React Hook Form and Zod
  • shadcn/ui

Data and infrastructure

Everything runs in Docker locally and in production. Migrations are reviewed like code, because they are the only part you cannot roll back casually.

  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • MongoDB
  • MySQL
  • Docker and Compose
  • S3-compatible storage
  • DigitalOcean
  • AWS
  • Azure

Reliability

Background work, caching and observability treated as part of the feature, not as something added after the first incident.

  • Celery workers and queues
  • Caching strategies
  • Prometheus metrics
  • Structured logging
  • Append-only audit trails
  • Rate limiting
  • Query optimisation

Quality

Tests where they earn their keep, documentation that carries a date stamp, and a checker that fails the commit when the two disagree.

  • pytest and pytest-asyncio
  • Vitest
  • Playwright
  • Code review
  • Technical documentation
  • Architecture decision records
  • Git and GitHub

AI in production

Models used where they change what a product can do, and AI tooling used to ship more without shipping worse.

  • LLM product integration
  • Pydantic AI
  • RAG pipelines
  • Prompt and context design
  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • GitHub Copilot
