Open to full-stack roles & client projects

Interfaces you feel.
Systems you never notice.

I'm Naga Venkatesh — a full-stack engineer with 7+ years shipping products end-to-end. Pixel-careful React & Next.js on the surface; Node.js, Redis and real-time pipelines underneath. FinTech, EdTech, and my own studio, LevnTech.

01 — what I build

Built end-to-end, on both sides of the wire.

Most products break at the seams between front and back. I work on both sides, so the seam is mine to get right.

Interfaces

React, Next.js and React Native UIs that load fast and feel considered — design systems, motion, accessibility.

−30% initial load on a storefront revamp

APIs & services

REST and GraphQL on Node.js and TypeScript. Typed contracts, auth, role-based access, background workers.

JWT + RBAC across three user roles

Real-time systems

Socket.IO with Redis adapters, Kafka pipelines, and live dashboards that stay in sync at scale.

Live K-12 classrooms & market data

AI integration

OpenAI and Claude APIs, LangChain and RAG pipelines — wired into products where they earn their place.

02 — how a request travels

Watch one click travel the stack.

Every tap on the front end starts a journey through the back end. This is the path I design for — send a request and follow it, cold or cached.

  1. 1

    Click

    The UI updates optimistically — the user never waits on the network to see a change.

  2. 2

    Route

    The edge resolves the route and checks the session before anything heavier runs.

  3. 3

    Validate

    Node validates the payload against a typed contract and applies the business rules.

  4. 4

    Read

    Redis answers hot reads in about a millisecond; a miss falls through to Postgres and re-warms the cache.

  5. 5

    Respond & broadcast

    The response confirms the change, and Socket.IO pushes it live to every other client.

03 — the stack

One engineer, every layer.

From the pixel to the packet to the pod. Here's the toolbox, layer by layer — and where each tool has earned its keep.

05 — the path so far

From the pixel down to the packet.

I started on the front end, went deep on the back end, and now build the whole thing. Pick a stop.

2025 – Present

Founder & Full-Stack Engineer

LevnTech & LevnTools

Ship products end-to-end for global clients — interfaces, APIs, data and deploys — wire in AI/LLM where it earns its place, and build LevnTools.

06 — who I am

Or just ask the terminal.

I'm a full-stack engineer in Hyderabad. I spent my early years making interfaces fast and friendly, then went deep on what powers them — schemas that scale, queries that stay fast, real-time services that refuse to fall over.

Today I run LevnTech, shipping products end-to-end for clients worldwide, and building LevnTools on the side. I bring in AI and LLMs where they actually help — not because they’re trending.

  • 01
    Boring in production

    The best backend is the one nobody pages about at 3am.

  • 02
    Felt, not noticed

    Good UI removes decisions. Motion has a job, or it goes.

  • 03
    Own the seam

    Contracts, types and errors designed once — shared by both sides.
