Open to new opportunities
I build web, cloud and AI products, end to end.
Hi, I'm Naveen Kumar, a Full-Stack & AI Engineer in Ludhiana, India. Eight years shipping production software: Next.js and Node.js apps, AWS serverless backends, LLM and RAG features, and React Native and Android TV apps. I care about performance, reliability and details people feel.

Capabilities
Four areas, one engineer.
I take features from idea to production: the interface, the API, the cloud it runs on and the AI that makes it smarter.

Fast, accessible interfaces with a design-system mindset.
- Next.js App Router (SSG, ISR, server components)
- React 19, TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS, design tokens, dark mode
- Accessibility, SEO, Core Web Vitals
Backend & Cloud
APIs and infrastructure that stay up and stay clear.
- Node.js, Fastify, Express, Laravel
- AWS Lambda, Cognito, SQS, S3
- PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, BullMQ
- Docker, Azure DevOps CI/CD, Entra ID
AI & LLM
Useful AI features with sources, guardrails and fallbacks.
- RAG with pgvector and citations
- OpenAI, Claude and Gemini APIs
- Vercel AI SDK, provider adapters
- Speech: Whisper, TTS, voice cloning
Mobile & TV
One of my strongest areas, not the whole picture.
- React Native (Expo and CLI), Ionic
- Android TV and streaming apps
- Offline-first sync (CouchDB, PouchDB, Realm)
- Native modules in Swift and Kotlin
Certifications
- AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner

01
Static by default
Every page is prerendered at build time. Case studies use generateStaticParams, so there is no server work per visit.
02
Accessible
Skip link, semantic landmarks, visible focus states, keyboard-first navigation and full reduced-motion support.
03
Typed end to end
TypeScript in strict mode, one typed content file drives the pages, sitemap, metadata and structured data.
04
Search-ready
Per-page metadata, canonical URLs, JSON-LD (Person, WebSite, CreativeWork), a real sitemap and generated Open Graph images.
05
Lean JavaScript
No animation or 3D libraries. Motion is CSS and a few lines of IntersectionObserver. Fonts are self-hosted by next/font.
06
Hardened contact API
zod validation, honeypot field, per-IP rate limiting, HTML-escaped notification emails and security headers on every route.
