Work — Career timeline

Systems I still get called about.

Most of my work has the same shape: data that has to be correct, permissions that have to hold, and an audit trail somebody will eventually read properly. The interesting part is rarely the feature — it's what the system is still able to do three years after everyone who built it has moved on.

  • Nine years on a single pharmaceutical research platform for a US client — permissions, audit, and configurable data schemas under real regulatory weight.
  • Two platforms for Red Bull North America: an offline-first distributor incentive system and an automated scoring and benchmarking programme.
  • A four-layer permissions model and a system-wide audit trail, both designed early and still in production years later.
  • Production AI features on FastAPI and the OpenAI API — response streaming, prompt architecture, and conversation state kept out of the UI.

Available for selected work

Best fit: teams with a system that has to be correct rather than merely finished — permissions, audit, integrations, or data that finance or a regulator will eventually read line by line.

Where I take on work outside the day job — integration problems, production infrastructure, and AI features that need to survive contact with real users. Some of it becomes a long engagement; some of it stays a prototype that taught me something.

Software Engineer — Full Stack

Nine years building enterprise applications in React, Next.js, Node.js, and Laravel — most of it on a single pharmaceutical research platform for a US client, where correctness mattered more than velocity and I stayed long enough to live with my own decisions.

Recommendations — In their words

What it feels like to work with me

Notes from the engineers and managers I've built alongside — quoted exactly as they wrote them.

Certified AWS Architect · Full-Stack · AI & LLM Integration

It is rare to come across a standout talent like Vishal. I had the pleasure of working with them while they tackled complex full-stack challenges using PHP, Laravel, and Node.js. What truly set them apart was their proactive approach to AI models integration and building autonomous AI agents. Despite being a junior, Vishal demonstrated a deep understanding of database management across both MySQL and MongoDB, always ensuring our data structures were efficient and scalable. Their enthusiasm for emerging tech is contagious, and I would recommend them without hesitation for any team pushing the boundaries of modern web development.

Enough about me.

Systems that have to be correct don't build themselves. If you've got one that needs building, fixing, or a second senior opinion — tell me about it.
