Seven years building web products end to end — the dashboard, the API, the schema, the deploy. I work directly with founders and product teams, usually as the engineer who owns the thing nobody else wants to own.
Selected work
What I do
Product engineering
You have a roadmap and not enough senior hands. I join as the engineer who takes a whole slice — schema through UI — and ships it without needing to be managed.
- Feature ownership
- API & data modelling
- Frontend architecture
- Code review
Rescue & rebuild
Something in production is slow, brittle, or nobody understands it anymore. I diagnose it properly, fix the root cause, and leave the team able to maintain it.
- Performance work
- Migrations
- Refactors with tests
- Documentation
Zero to one
An idea that needs to become a real product with real users. I build the first version small enough to launch and structured enough to survive the second.
- MVP build
- Infra setup
- Auth & billing
- Launch support
How it goes
A call, not a pitch
Thirty minutes on what you are actually trying to ship. If I am not the right person, I will say so and usually know who is.
What clients say
“Abhinav rebuilt our dispatch dashboard in the middle of our busiest quarter and did not miss a deadline. Six months later it is still the first thing our ops team opens.”
Priya Deshmukh
VP Operations, Northwind Freight
“We had two engineers who could not agree on an approach for months. He shipped a working version of the disputed part in a week and the argument just ended.”
Tom Errington
CTO, Kestrel
“The clearest scope document I have ever received from a contractor. Everything he said would happen, happened, on the date he said it would.”
Sofia Lindqvist
Founder, Lumen
Ways to work together
Sprint
A focused block for one clear outcome. Good for a rescue, a spike, or a launch push.
- One workstream at a time
- Daily written updates
- Direct Slack access
- Code you own outright
Embedded
Most commonI work as part of your team — standups, reviews, planning. The most common way clients work with me.
- Roughly 3 days a week
- Standups and planning
- Architecture ownership
- Rolling monthly, cancel anytime
Advisory
For teams with engineers who want a senior second opinion on the calls that are expensive to reverse.
- Weekly call
- Async review
- Architecture decisions
- Hiring input
