Aravindh M — Full-Stack Developer

Full-stack developer with 3+ years of production experience. I built NebulaAPI on my own — product, payments, analytics and a separate admin CMS — and it now serves 250+ users worldwide. I've also delivered large platforms for teams in India and Romania.

About

I like owning the whole problem: talking to users, designing the data model and APIs, building the interface, and getting it deployed and monitored. Most of my work is React and Node.js — Next.js on the front, NestJS or Express behind it, MongoDB or DynamoDB underneath.

NebulaAPI is where that shows best. I built it alone, from the first commit to payment integration, usage and revenue analytics, a separate admin CMS and four product sites — and grew it to 250+ users worldwide. At work I lead full-stack development, set up code review and mentor junior developers.

Freelance

Available for freelance projects alongside full-time roles. Here's what I can take off your plate, and how a project runs.

01

SaaS MVPs

From idea to a launched product: sign-in, billing, an admin panel and the core feature, built to grow rather than be rewritten.

02

APIs & backends

REST APIs in NestJS or Express with authentication, API keys, rate limiting and clear documentation your team can build on.

03

Dashboards & admin tools

Internal tools and analytics dashboards that turn your data into decisions — charts, filters, exports and role-based access.

04

Performance & SEO fixes

Slow queries, heavy pages, poor search visibility: I find the cause, fix it and show the before-and-after numbers.

Step 1

Talk

A short call to understand the problem, the users and what “done” looks like.

Step 2

Plan

A written scope with milestones and a fixed estimate, so there are no surprises.

Step 3

Build

Working software every week on a live preview link, not a big reveal at the end.

Step 4

Launch

Deployment, handover docs and a support window after go-live.
