About Akash Thirumuruganantham

As a Fullstack Developer with over 5 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable, AI-powered web and mobile applications across healthcare, education, and enterprise domains. My technical focus spans React (Next.js), React Native, and TypeScript on the frontend, with robust backend implementations using Node.js, GraphQL, and Express.I’ve delivered intelligent platforms integrated with LLM-based features (LangChain, TensorFlow), real-time systems (Kafka, WebSockets, GraphQL subscriptions), and optimized user experiences with server-side rendering (SSR), ISR, and modular component libraries.My backend strengths include building microservices architectures and deploying secure, cloud-native solutions using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, S3, SageMaker, and DynamoDB. I’ve also built real-time data pipelines using Kafka and Kinesis, supporting high-throughput analytics and dynamic dashboards.With experience in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker, Cypress), database systems (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), and event-driven APIs, I focus on delivering scalable systems that balance speed, performance, and maintainability.Let’s connect if you’re building something impactful—I’m always excited about leveraging technology for meaningful change.Portfolio: https://akash-2204.github.io/portfolio/
