Pugazhenthi — Full-stack developer, Trichy · LinkedIn
I build fast, reliable web & mobile apps for founders and small teams.
Nine years shipping React and Node.js products — dashboards, marketplaces, and internal tools that quietly do their job.
About
I've been building on the web independently since 2016.
I work end-to-end on the products I take on — from the database schema up through the UI a customer actually touches. Most of my recent work has been React and Node.js applications for founders who need a technical partner, not just a pair of hands. Lately I've been building AI agents, workflow automation, and MCP servers for teams that want to move faster without hiring.
I care about the boring things: sensible data models, observability, performance budgets, and code that the next developer can read without cursing. If any of that sounds like what you need, I'd like to hear from you.
