I'm Vimal M — I architect and ship production-grade web apps end-to-end, from React / Next.js frontends to Node.js / FastAPI backends on AWS.
Software engineer who owns delivery end-to-end — from architecture and complex migrations to scalable multi-tenant systems shipped under tight timelines.
Over the last four years I've worked across product and consulting environments, leading the kind of work that doesn't get celebrated but absolutely cannot fail: zero-downtime platform migrations, auth systems, and infrastructure that thousands of people depend on at once.
I care about the full lifecycle — clean frontend performance, well-architected backends, and reliable AWS deployments — and I move fast without breaking the things that matter.
A track record of owning complex, high-stakes engineering across product and consulting teams.
A closer look at the systems I architected and the problems they solved.
Re-platformed an entire production website from a legacy Laravel/cPanel stack to Next.js 14 — without a single second of downtime. A Strangler Fig pattern with CloudFront hybrid routing ran the old and new sites simultaneously under one domain, allowing routes to migrate incrementally and safely.
A timed peer-rating survey serving thousands of simultaneous users — secured with unique-link + OTP auth for zero-friction access, a CSV-driven respondent mapping system preventing cross-group data leakage, and mid-survey disconnect recovery.
Core fullstack engineer building POCs across AI-powered workflows. Architected a multi-tenant RBAC system for precise permission control, implemented secure JWT / OAuth 2.0 (Google, Outlook, GitHub) auth, and deployed micro-frontends unified via nginx on Docker + AWS.
Primary contributor to the Recorder SDK, where I cut bundle size by 70% through code splitting and lazy loading — significantly improving page load times across the product. Also led a Manifest V3 Chrome extension with recording and video features integrated with multiple third-party platforms.
