I’m Lohit, a software engineer who works across the whole product — the mobile app, the APIs and data behind it, and the infrastructure that keeps it running. I started in React Native and it’s still where I’m most comfortable, but the work that’s stretched me the most has been real-time systems, background services, testing infrastructure, and figuring out how to keep costs sane as things grow.

Published apps and the systems behind them — built with small teams, shipped to real users.
React Native · Expo · Product ownership
Teachbricks / Turtil
A community app that grew out of Turtil Student. I handled mobile delivery — feature work, EAS builds, OTA updates, push notifications, Maestro testing, crash monitoring and store releases — and the infrastructure underneath it.
Offline-first · Expo SQLite
Teachbricks / Turtil
Academic and campus workflows built for real network conditions. Timetables remain available offline through local SQLite persistence, with considered loading, empty and error states.
React Native · B2B commerce
Hyposoft / FarmOR
Published mobile products supporting agricultural purchasing, orders and inventory workflows, alongside FarmOR’s responsive marketing experience.
Platform engineering
Full-stack product work across TypeScript APIs, PostgreSQL data models, real-time communication, payments, Redis-backed jobs, AWS infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD and production observability.
Experience
Turtil · Hyderabad
Worked on mobile delivery in a small team — React Native/Expo releases, OTA updates, CI/CD, and the App Store and Play Store lifecycle. Beyond the app, I spent a lot of time on the pieces that keep it running: a native module to keep location collection alive after process termination, real-time chat and live polls over WebSockets (and a Convex→Socket.IO migration when costs got out of hand), testing infrastructure with reliable seed data, and production ops across web, APIs, PostgreSQL, payments and AWS.
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.
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.
View Computer Science from ScratchBuild journal
A lightweight public log of the fundamentals I’m revisiting and the systems I’m building.
Learned C to understand what is actually happening underneath the abstractions — it is all about moving bits through memory, pointers and the CPU.
Schema design, constraints, joins, transactions, indexes, query plans and SQL contracts.
Configuration, pgx pools, migrations, SQLC, API boundaries, authentication and testing.
Learning from first principles, implementing each concept and writing down the mental model.
Engineering practice
Most of my work starts on mobile, but the interesting problems usually live behind it — real-time systems, background services, testing infrastructure, and the unglamorous cost decisions that keep things running.
End-to-end delivery — EAS build profiles, release channels, safe Expo Updates, automated submissions, store compliance, review responses and rollouts.
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 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-first persistence so core features stay usable on poor or absent networks, with attention to scroll and data-fetching performance on low-end devices.
Unit, integration and end-to-end (Maestro) testing with reliable backend seed data, so releases can be validated automatically instead of by hand.
Ran production across four AWS environments with Terraform — ECS, RDS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront — plus OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus and Loki for visibility.
Beyond mobile
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Hono, Node.js, REST, real-time communication and Go.
PostgreSQL, SQL, Drizzle, Redis/Valkey, transactions, indexing and relational modeling.
AWS, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Sentry and PostHog.
Authentication, payments, background jobs, analytics, notifications and production support.

I’m open to software engineering roles where I can contribute across the stack — mobile, backend, and the infrastructure in between.
