About Me
Senior Full-Stack Developer & Solution Architect Helping Businesses Build Reliable Software
I'm Vishnu, an independent Senior Full-Stack Developer and Solution Architect with 13+ years of professional software development experience. I help startups, businesses, and agencies build, modernize, and scale SaaS platforms, business applications, APIs, integrations, and cloud-based systems.
My background includes more than 6 years working with a UK product team, contributing to production platforms used by real customers and supporting long-term product development, integrations, infrastructure, performance, and ongoing maintenance.
I can support projects from the early technical stage through delivery — including requirements analysis, system architecture, database design, backend development, frontend integration, REST APIs, third-party services, AWS deployment, CI/CD, performance optimization, and production support.
I’m comfortable joining an existing codebase, understanding complex business workflows, identifying the right technical approach, and taking ownership of implementation rather than only completing isolated development tasks.
