Production RAG and LLM features for e-commerce teams.
The kind that survive contact with a real catalogue.
Across commerce platforms, internal tooling and AI features, the numbers below are the ones I can actually point at.
Internal tooling
increase35%
A modular CMS and admin portal with reusable dashboards and data tables, so the ops team stopped queueing behind engineers to change things.
Product frontend
increase30%
Responsive React interfaces rebuilt around how people actually move through the product, rather than how the components happened to be organised.
Performance
faster25%
Tightened rendering and state management until the app stopped making people wait to see anything.
What I build
Different domains, same job. Take it from the infrastructure through to the surface people actually touch, with no handoff in the middle where the seams quietly come apart.
Each figure is from the role it sits under, measured by that team at the time.Full background on LinkedIn
Products I can talk through end to end: what the constraint was, what I traded away, and what changed once it shipped.
01A scalable jewelry e-commerce platform built with Next.js, delivering a seamless and secure online shopping experience. Integrated a subscription-based Gold Savings Scheme to streamline recurring investments, customer management, and digital gold purchasing.
02Built a modular CMS and Admin Portal, secure JWT authentication, and operational dashboards. These workflows improved operations team productivity by 35%.
03A cold-outreach platform for running and tracking email sequences, with campaign scheduling, reply tracking and per-contact status so a small team can see what landed and what went quiet.
04A data preparation tool for cleaning, analyzing, and transforming messy spreadsheets through automated workflows.
Marketplaces, internal platforms, and the systems behind them. A few chapters in my engineering career.
Product EngineerIndia
Building an e-commerce marketplace from infrastructure to the complete customer journey: product discovery, secure accounts, cart and checkout, and post-purchase operations.
Software EngineerGurugram
Improved marketplace reliability across frontend and backend workflows. Built responsive React interfaces from Figma, integrated PIN-code-based geolocation on product pages, and supported discovery through SEO-focused content.
Software EngineerBengaluru
Built a modular CMS and Admin Portal with reusable components, dashboards, and data tables that improved operations team productivity by 35%. Implemented JWT authentication, product analytics, and structured data for search.
Frontend DeveloperUnited States
Created responsive React interfaces that increased user engagement by 30%. Optimized rendering and state management to reduce application load times by 25%, and integrated REST APIs and authentication features.
Web DeveloperRemote
Engineered a MERN-based food ordering application that improved order processing efficiency by 40%. Coordinated delivery across the team and resolved full-stack issues across the frontend, backend, and database.
Web Application DeveloperKolkata

From the interface to the infrastructure, with AI where it makes the product more useful.
React and Next.js interfaces, TypeScript APIs, and data models built together. From e-commerce marketplaces to internal tools, I connect the details into a complete product.
Node.js, NestJS, and Python services with secure authentication, Redis caching, and PostgreSQL. Clear REST and GraphQL APIs that support reliable applications.
Automated builds and releases with Docker, AWS, and GitHub Actions, from initial setup through production deployment.
Generative AI applications and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) using Python, FastAPI, OpenAI, LangChain, and vector databases. Useful LLM features built into the product.
Understand the product, its users, and the constraints that matter.
Define the architecture, data model, and a practical path to delivery.
Build in reviewable milestones, with clear interfaces and maintainable code.
Review performance, improve the experience, and document the system.

The three things every overseas client asks before they sign, answered up front.
I hold my afternoons for US mornings and my mornings for European ones. Calls happen inside your working day, not at the edge of mine.
An async update in your Slack every working day, and a short Loom walkthrough each week showing what actually moved. You never have to ask where things stand.
Work lands in your repository, on your infrastructure, under your account. Full IP assignment, no lock-in, nothing held hostage if we stop.
Milestones, deliverables and what is explicitly out of scope, agreed before the first commit. No surprise invoices.
Curious about the whole system, from the first interaction to what happens behind the API.
I’m Akash, a software engineer who likes turning ‘could we build this?’ into something people actually enjoy using. I work across full-stack development and AI, connecting the interface, the backend, and all the little details that suddenly become very important when someone clicks the wrong button.
My work spans e-commerce experiences, internal tools, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. I enjoy making complicated workflows feel simple and giving AI a useful job to do. If a dashboard needs a tutorial before you can find the save button, I have questions. And probably a few ideas.
I like working with people who ask questions, share ideas early, and can laugh when a ‘quick fix’ turns into a detective story. I’ll happily talk through the tradeoffs, get into the tricky details, and help figure out what’s worth building next. Bring your idea, even if it’s still mostly a sketch. That’s a good place to start.
The questions that come up on nearly every first call, answered here so we can skip to the interesting part.
Something not covered here?
Ask me directlyI'm in New Delhi (GST) and hold roughly four hours of daily overlap with US Eastern, and a full working morning with UK and EU teams. Standups, reviews and calls happen inside your day. Everything outside that window runs async, with a written update in your Slack each working day.
Have a product in mind or a system that needs untangling? Book a call and bring the messy version. I read everything, and you won't get a form letter back.
