Full stack developer in India — Deepak Kumar

PlanToday.in is the cleanest proof: a Next.js front end, a NestJS and TypeORM API over MySQL, Redis and BullMQ for background work, Razorpay for payments, phone-OTP auth with JWT sessions across three roles, and programmatic SEO generating a landing page for every city × service pair. Thirteen backend modules, one engineer.

• Front end — Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, React Query and Zustand
• API — NestJS and Express, REST contracts, TypeORM and Mongoose, queue workers
• Data — MySQL and MongoDB schema design driven by the read patterns that matter
• Delivery — Docker, CI/CD, AWS, PM2, and observability wired in before launch

At India Today Group the same stack carries Generative AI: article generation, AI summaries and semantic search built with OpenAI and LangChain, retrieval on MongoDB Atlas Vector Search, and an editorial review step before anything reaches a reader. AI is a feature inside the product, not a separate system bolted to the side of it.

• RAG pipelines with chunking tuned to the corpus and evaluation before rollout
• Voice synthesis — articles to podcast audio, cutting production time roughly 80%
• Structured prompting behind typed API contracts, so failures are catchable
• Cost and latency budgets per call, monitored the same way as any other dependency

One engineer who can move from a slow query to a re-render to a cache header without a handover is usually worth more than two specialists and a coordination meeting. I am in New Delhi, available on-site across Delhi NCR or fully remote, for senior roles or scoped contract work.
