Karthik Murugan

I am a Full Stack Developer with 2+ years of hands-on experience building scalable, production-grade web applications using React.js and Node.js. I focus on delivering high-performance UIs and robust backend services, balancing feature delivery with maintainability.

At Aquila Internationals I improved page load performance by 90% with reusable React components, reduced prop drilling using Context API, and optimized RESTful APIs to improve response times. I also implemented real-time updates with Socket.IO to significantly reduce interaction latency.

My projects include a high-performance cab booking platform that increased ride conversions by 30% and multiple platforms leveraging GridFS for media, Socket.IO for realtime features, and AWS/PM2 for reliable deployments. I emphasize automated CI/CD, efficient MongoDB schema design, and measurable performance improvements.

I work well in Agile teams, participate actively in code reviews, and use modern tooling like Git, Postman and CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality releases. I am driven to build maintainable systems that scale and deliver strong user engagement.
