What I'm looking for

Full-time roles (founding engineer, senior full-stack, Rust or Node.js backend) and contract work at USD 30–40/hr (MVPs, real-time and E2EE features, Tauri/Android apps from a web app, Rust backends). Remote with IST overlap, or relocation with visa support. Outside India: contractor or Employer of Record. Available immediately.

Full-stack developer with 5 years of experience in TypeScript, React, Node.js, Rust and PostgreSQL. Open to full-time roles and contract work, remote, available immediately.

What I work on: React and TypeScript web apps; Node.js and Rust backends on PostgreSQL with REST, gRPC and WebSocket APIs; real-time features (chat, presence, live updates, calls over WebSocket and WebRTC); desktop apps with Tauri and Android apps with Capacitor from one web codebase; Docker on AWS, GCP and Cloudflare with Playwright end-to-end tests.

I also run my own startup, Lupyd, where I built and shipped the apps (Android, Windows, macOS, Linux) and the backend. Before that: Rust LLM trainer at Turing, a C++ audio engine for a Flutter app at Jandas Corporation, and freelance mobile and Rust work.
