Go services to the products people use.

I’m Lohit, a full-stack software engineer with 4+ years of production experience across React and React Native products, backend APIs, PostgreSQL and AWS. At Turtil, that included a Next.js college-management platform and an AI interface that connected institutional knowledge, application APIs and real UI actions. I’ve also built Go services for Redis-backed jobs and runner orchestration, and I’m now deepening that experience from first principles.

Selected work

A few things I’ve worked on.

Published apps and the systems behind them — built with small teams, shipped to real users.

Turtil Campus app icon Offline-first · Expo SQLite

Teachbricks / Turtil

Turtil Campus

Academic and campus workflows built for real network conditions. Timetables remain available offline through local SQLite persistence, with considered loading, empty and error states.

FarmOR logo React Native · B2B commerce

Hyposoft / FarmOR

FarmOR Partner & Kisaan

Published mobile products supporting agricultural purchasing, orders and inventory workflows, alongside FarmOR’s responsive marketing experience.

Parentz app icon React Native · Expo · Product ownership

Teachbricks / Turtil

Parentz

A community app that grew out of Turtil Student. I handled mobile delivery, EAS builds, OTA updates, push notifications, Maestro testing, crash monitoring and store releases, backed by the same real-time campus platform as Turtil CMS.

Experience

From screens to servers to on-call.

Mar 2024 — May 2026

Full-Stack & Infrastructure Engineer

Turtil · Hyderabad

Built across Turtil’s product ecosystem: the Next.js/React CMS used by college administrators and staff, and the React Native apps used by students and parents. CMS work covered enrollment, invitations, attendance, timetables, chat and campus operations, plus an AI assistant using MCP, vector retrieval and application tools for contextual answers, API/database calls and real UI actions. I also owned mobile releases, real-time WebSocket systems, testing infrastructure and production operations across APIs, PostgreSQL, payments and AWS.

Dec 2021 — Dec 2023

Mobile, Backend & Frontend Engineer

Hyposoft Global Solutions · Hyderabad

Built React Native products for agriculture, cold-storage commerce and sports communities, backed by Node.js, MongoDB, Firebase, Socket.IO, push notifications and payment integrations.

Independent Study & Product Development

Computer Science from Scratch

Strengthening the theory underneath years of product work through implementation-led study, while developing independent products and documenting what I learn.

Build journal

What I’m learning now.

A lightweight public log of the fundamentals I’m revisiting and the systems I’m building.

  1. C fundamentals

    Why systems work the way they do

    Learned C to understand what is actually happening underneath the abstractions — it is all about moving bits through memory, pointers and the CPU.

  2. PostgreSQL

    Raw SQL and relational reasoning

    Schema design, constraints, joins, transactions, indexes, query plans and SQL contracts.

  3. Go backend

    A production-shaped HTTP service

    Configuration, pgx pools, migrations, SQLC, API boundaries, authentication and testing.

  4. Core CS

    DSA, networking and operating systems

    Learning from first principles, implementing each concept and writing down the mental model.

Engineering practice

Backend depth. Full-stack range.

I work from responsive React interfaces through APIs and data to deployment and observability, with a growing specialization in Go services and scalable backend systems.

Release engineering

OTA, CI/CD and store operations

End-to-end delivery — EAS build profiles, release channels, safe Expo Updates, automated submissions, store compliance, review responses and rollouts.

Background services

Native modules when React Native stops

A native module to keep location collection alive after the JS process is terminated — buffering locally and syncing to the server on reconnect.

Real-time systems

WebSockets that scale

Real-time chat and live poll updates over WebSockets. Moved from a managed platform (Convex) to a self-hosted Socket.IO service when the bill started climbing.

Offline & performance

Useful without a network

Offline-first persistence so core features stay usable on poor or absent networks, with attention to scroll and data-fetching performance on low-end devices.

Quality & testing

Test before shipping

Unit, integration and end-to-end (Maestro) testing with reliable backend seed data, so releases can be validated automatically instead of by hand.

Infrastructure

AWS, Terraform, observability

Ran production across four AWS environments with Terraform — ECS, RDS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront — plus OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus and Loki for visibility.

Beyond mobile

The role, end to end.

Go & APIs

Go, net/http, context, pgx, REST, background jobs, retries, scheduling and real-time communication.

Data

PostgreSQL, SQL, Drizzle, Redis/Valkey, transactions, indexing and relational modeling.

Production

AWS, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Sentry and PostHog.

React & AI products

Next.js, React, TypeScript, responsive admin workflows, MCP tools, vector retrieval and chat-driven UI actions.

Let’s talk.

I’m open to Go and full-stack roles where I can build reliable APIs, responsive products and the infrastructure that carries them into production.
