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. My work extends through authentication, real-time services, background jobs, infrastructure, observability, security and the cost decisions that keep a production system healthy.

Selected work
Published apps and the systems behind them — built with small teams, shipped to real users.
Teachbricks / Turtil
A college-management platform for administrators and staff: enrollment and invitations, academics, attendance, timetables, communication and campus operations. Its AI assistant used MCP, vector retrieval and application tools to answer with institutional context, call APIs and databases, and trigger real interface actions through chat.
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.
React Native · Expo · Product ownership
Teachbricks / Turtil
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
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, session-based authentication with real-time access control, dedicated WebSocket and background-job services, testing infrastructure, and AWS operations. I moved suitable ECS workloads from Fargate to EC2-backed capacity to reduce cost while preserving autoscaling services for staging and production.
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
I work from responsive interfaces through APIs, data and real-time services to security, deployment, cost optimization, observability and production support.
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.
Separated WebSocket workloads from the main API, optimized chat and live updates, and enforced session-based authentication with real-time authorization as user access changed.
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.
Moved suitable ECS workloads from per-task Fargate to EC2-backed capacity, separated job workers and WebSocket services, and ran four AWS environments with Terraform and full observability.
Beyond mobile
TypeScript and Go APIs, session-based auth, real-time authorization, WebSockets, jobs, retries and scheduling.
PostgreSQL, SQL, Drizzle, Redis/Valkey, transactions, indexing and relational modeling.
AWS, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Sentry and PostHog.
Next.js, React, TypeScript, responsive admin workflows, MCP tools, vector retrieval and chat-driven UI actions.

I’m open to software engineering roles where I can own meaningful product work end to end—from the interface and API to security, infrastructure and production operations.
