Stop Your App Performance Headaches: Architects 88% Faster Full-Stack & AI Solutions
I'm a tech nerd who automates everything with n8n workflows and runs Ollama locally for AI experimentation. I architect solutions that scale, perform, and leverage cutting-edge AI. From rescuing mission-critical databases to engineering AI-powered solutions that actually solve real problems, I deliver production-ready applications with a focus on CI/CD, AI/ML integration, and robust full-stack deployment.
The Himanshu Edge
Full-Stack Agility
From sketching system diagrams to pushing the final Docker image, I have engineered end‑to‑end solutions that scale. On a recent e‑commerce platform, I designed a modular monorepo, implemented serverless APIs, and integrated CI/CD pipelines, cutting time‑to‑market by 40% while maintaining strict security standards.
AI/ML Integration
When the challenge was to turn static documentation into an intelligent assistant, I built a Retrieval‑Augmented Generation pipeline using Gemini’s embeddings, enabling users to ask natural‑language queries and receive context‑aware answers in under 300 ms. This proof‑of‑concept now powers internal knowledge bases, demonstrating the power of AI‑first design.
DevOps & Performance Mastery
I re‑architected a legacy Node.js service into a containerized microservice, introduced automated load testing, and tuned database indexes, delivering an 88% performance uplift and 99.99% uptime. The CI/CD workflow now deploys with zero‑downtime blue‑green releases, and observability dashboards alert before issues surface.
Mission-Critical Resilience
In a high‑stakes scenario where every second counted, I led a disaster‑recovery drill for a fintech platform, automating failover across regions. The plan restored 100% of services within minutes, with zero data loss, and earned commendation from senior leadership for building a rock‑solid, resilient architecture.
About Me
From the very beginning, I've had this insatiable curiosity for how things work—especially the invisible parts. At age 12, I took apart my family's old computer not once, but three times, learning that sometimes you have to break something to rebuild it better. That same spirit drove me to flash custom Android ROMs and eventually write my first lines of code, realizing tech wasn't just about apps—it's about solving real problems.
My journey through tech has been anything but linear. After completing a Cloud Engineering internship at ACS, I dived headfirst into full-stack development, mastering React, Next.js, Node.js, and AWS. But it was the AI/ML space that truly captured my imagination. Building RAG architectures and integrating Gemini APIs taught me that the future isn't just automated— it's intelligent.
Today, as a proactive engineer, I architect scalable solutions that don't just meet requirements—they exceed them. Whether leading disaster recovery for critical systems or pioneering AI-powered tools that streamline dev workflows, I thrive on the edge where innovation meets reliability. My portfolio isn't just a collection of projects; it's evidence of how I transform complex challenges into elegant, high-impact solutions.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me automating my life with n8n workflows, experimenting with Ollama for local AI, or exploring the latest in quantum computing. Because in this field, curiosity isn't optional—it's essential.
My Philosophy
Clean, maintainable code is the foundation of everything I build. I believe in writing modular, well-documented code with comprehensive test suites, ensuring that every deployment builds trust rather than introducing new risks. The goal isn't perfection—it's sustainable evolution.
User-centric design drives my approach. Every decision starts with understanding user needs, validated through iterative design and real-world testing. Performance matters—whether it's reducing load times by 88% or ensuring responsive interactions—but it must never compromise on usability or security.
Continuous learning keeps me ahead in this rapidly evolving industry. I stay current with emerging technologies, experiment with cutting-edge tools like AI models and automation frameworks, and actively share knowledge through documentation, code reviews, and mentorship. Technology moves fast, and so do I.
