Full-stack & Flutter engineer building real products
I'm Aarav — I turn messy ideas into fast, dependable software. Six years shipping web platforms and cross-platform mobile apps for founders and product teams across 12 countries.
Node.js & Express Flutter & Dart PostgreSQL & MongoDB React & Next.js AWS & Docker
// api/products.js — Node + Express
import express from "express";
import Product from "./models/Product.js";
const router = express.Router();
function cache(res, ms) {
res.set("Cache-Control", `max-age=${ms}`);
return res;
}
// GET /api/products?page=1
router.get("/", async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const page = Number(req.query.page ?? 1);
const data = await Product.paginate({
page, limit: 20, sort: { createdAt: -1 }
});
return cache(res, 60).json(data);
} catch (err) { next(err); }

About me
Engineer first.
Engineer first.
Everything else follows.
I started out writing PHP scripts for a local retailer and never stopped shipping. Today I work with founders who need something built, not something pitched — and they stay because the code keeps working after launch.
My sweet spot is the full arc: designing the data model, building the API, crafting the interface, wiring CI/CD and then answering the phone when something breaks at 2am. For mobile work that means a single Flutter codebase that ships to both Android and iOS — no duplicated teams, no divergent features.
I work best with small teams who move fast and care about details. Clear scope, short feedback loops, and code that's documented well enough that your next developer can pick it up without a meeting.

What I do
End-to-end, from database
End-to-end, from database
to store listing.
One person owning the whole build means fewer handoffs, fewer surprises and a much shorter path from idea to production.
Flutter Mobile Apps
One codebase, two stores. Native-grade performance for Android and iOS with offline support and smooth 60fps UI.
- Android & iOS releases
- Offline-first & sync
- Push notifications & deep links
- App Store & Play Console setup
APIs & Backends
Node.js and Express services with clean contracts, proper validation and documentation your frontend team will actually use.
- REST & GraphQL
- Zod / Joi validation
- Rate limiting & caching
- Swagger / OpenAPI docs
Database Architecture
Schema design that survives real traffic — normalised where it matters, denormalised where it pays, indexed where it hurts.
- PostgreSQL modelling
- MongoDB aggregation pipelines
- Migrations & seed scripts
- Query & index tuning
UI/UX & Design Systems
Interfaces that feel obvious to use, plus a token-based component library so future screens stay consistent for free.
- Figma → code handoff
- Tailwind design systems
- Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)
- Dark & light theming
Performance & SEO
Shipping less JavaScript, querying faster and ranking better. Measurable wins, not guesswork — I report before and after.
- Core Web Vitals
- Bundle & image optimisation
- Caching & CDN strategy
- Technical SEO audits

How it works
Four steps. No surprises.
A predictable process means you always know what's happening, what's needed from you, and when you'll see results.
STEP 01
Discover
A 45-minute call to understand the problem, the users and the constraints. You get a written scope and estimate afterwards — free.
Week 0
STEP 02
Design
Architecture, data model and UI wireframes agreed before a line of production code. Decisions documented so nothing is guesswork later.
Week 1–2
STEP 03
Build
Two-week sprints with a staging link every Friday. You see working software early and can course-correct cheaply.
Week 3–10
STEP 04
Launch
Deployment, store submission, monitoring and a handover walkthrough. Plus 30 days of bug-fix support included.
Week 11–12
Client words
What it's like to work with me.
Aarav rebuilt our backend in eight weeks and cut our infrastructure bill by more than half. What impressed me most was how little we had to explain — he asked the right questions before we started.
Sarah K.CTO, Ledger
We shipped to both stores from one Flutter codebase — half the cost of the two-team approach we'd budgeted for. The app has a 4.8 rating and hasn't needed a hotfix in seven months.
Daniel M.Founder, Pulse Fitness
Six months into a retainer and we've shipped more than our previous agency managed in a year. Communication is genuinely good — daily updates without me having to chase anyone.
Amara R.Product Lead, Gridly

Transparent, upfront costs.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
A focused marketing site takes 2–3 weeks. A full web platform or MVP with authentication, dashboards and payments runs 8–14 weeks. Flutter apps shipping to both Android and iOS typically take 10–16 weeks depending on feature complexity.
Both. Fixed-price works best for well-defined scopes like landing pages, dashboards and standard CRUD apps. Hourly or monthly retainers suit ongoing feature work and products still finding their shape.
Yes. One Flutter codebase ships to Android and iOS, and I handle signing, store submission, privacy disclosures and release management for both stores.
You do, completely. Source code, infrastructure configuration and cloud accounts are handed over on final payment, along with a walkthrough so your team can pick it up without me.
I'm based in Bengaluru, India (IST, UTC+5:30). I work with clients across Europe, the UK, the US and APAC — with at least four hours of daily overlap with European and UK working hours.
Always. Every project includes 30 days of bug-fix support. Ongoing maintenance retainers add monitoring, dependency upgrades, security patches and feature sprints on top.

Currently taking on 2 new projects for Q4 2026. Booking a call locks in a slot before the quarter fills up.
Have a deadline that won't move?
I keep two slots open each quarter for urgent builds. If your launch date is fixed, tell me what it is and I'll be straight about whether I can hit it.
