Software developer
Based in Jodhpur, India
Hi, I'm Shivam. I work mostly on the backend, where the tricky stuff lives. Think live tracking for delivery apps, payment systems that move real money, and AI features that answer questions from a company's own data.
Scroll01 · What I do
Most of my projects start as a messy problem. Riders moving across a city while customers watch every turn live. A tender document that takes days to price by hand. Rent that needs to reach the right bank account every month. Someone's whole financial life and the simple question of whether they're doing okay. I enjoy turning that kind of mess into software people can rely on.
02 · Work
Seven products I've worked on, newest first. Pick one to jump straight to it, or just keep scrolling.
01 / 07 · 2026 · Personal finance app
A report card for your money, with a coach attached.
01 · The problem
Most people know their salary and roughly what their EMI is. Ask whether they're doing okay overall, though, and there's no real answer. The pieces are spread across bank apps, a forgotten SIP and some gold at home.
02 · The score
You answer a few questions about what you earn, owe, spend and own. FinCard turns that into a balance sheet and a health score, and the score is always free.
The score has two halves, monthly habits and what you've built, so owning a big house can't hide bad habits. I tested the maths against 200,000 generated profiles.
03 · The checks
Eight checks explain where the score came from, with the one that needs the most work at the top. Each check shows the actual sum in your own rupees, so nothing feels like a black box.
Checks you haven't revealed yet stay on the server, so there's nothing hidden inside the app for anyone to dig out.
04 · The simulator
Wondering what clearing your credit card would do? Drag a slider and watch the score update straight away, before any real money moves.
Credits go through a single locked transaction with an idempotency key, so tapping twice never charges twice.
02 / 07 · Maxaix · 2024 · Delivery, rides, shopping
Parcels, rides and shopping, with the customer and the rider watching the same order live.
01 · The problem
The customer and the rider look at the same order from two different phones. If one screen falls even a few seconds behind, people start calling support.
02 · Real-time
I built the real-time core. Each location ping from the rider goes into Redis and is pushed out over WebSockets, so both screens move together.
03 · Busy hours
Peak hours are where apps usually break. A queue and job layer keeps every order update in the right order, and a small AI step estimates prices for shopping requests.
03 / 07 · Maxaix · 2024 · Travel and vouchers
Flights, hotels, buses and vouchers, all booked from one app.
01 · The idea
Instead of switching between separate apps for flights, hotels and buses, travellers search once and book everything in the same place.
02 · Suppliers
I integrated the TripJack and Yatra APIs behind a single REST API, so results from both come back as one sorted list the app can show right away.
03 · Checkout
Payment goes through Easebuzz and the ticket is issued straight after. The operations team handles everything after booking from an admin panel I built.
04 / 07 · Maxaix · Internal · Enterprise operations
An internal platform for managing vendors, contracts and timesheets at scale.
01 · Approvals
Timesheets pass through several approval stages, rates change on set dates, and each role only sees the data it's allowed to see.
02 · Exports
The big month-end exports kept failing halfway. I moved them to background jobs that work through the data in chunks, and now they finish every time.
03 · AI
Managers type a question in plain English. A Text-to-SQL agent built on Claude and Qdrant writes the query, and it only touches data that person is allowed to see.
Internal system
05 / 07 · Maxaix · Internal · Procurement
An AI tool that turns tender documents into priced estimates.
01 · The problem
Pricing a tender meant someone going through pages of line items by hand, looking up each rate and typing it into a spreadsheet. It took days.
02 · Extraction
The document is split into chunks, and an LLM pulls out every line item with its quantity and unit, in the same order as the tender.
03 · Pricing
Each item is matched against a vector store of old quotes and current market rates. What used to take days now comes out as a finished report.
Internal tool
06 / 07 · Web Techno · 2023 · Property SaaS
Property management software for landlords and renters, with payments at its heart.
01 · Leasing
Renters fill in an application, the landlord approves it, and the lease is signed digitally. Nobody has to print or scan anything.
02 · Payments
I built the complete Stripe Connect payment system. Rent for each property is split up and sent to the right bank accounts automatically.
03 · Autopay
Autopay and recurring payments cover the awkward edge cases too, so landlords get paid on time without chasing anyone.
07 / 07 · Freelance · 2024 · Trademark services
A website and custom CMS for a trademark services firm.
01 · The website
The firm wanted a website that explains their trademark services clearly and gets visitors to book a consultation.
02 · The CMS
I built a custom Laravel CMS for their services, consultations and enquiries, so they can change their own content without calling a developer.
03 · Deployment
I handled the deployment myself too, from setting up the EC2 server to the SSL certificate and the CDN.
03 · What I work with
Laravel apps and REST APIs, with queues and background jobs so they stay fast when traffic picks up.
WebSockets and Redis for anything that has to update live, like a delivery moving on a map.
RAG pipelines, Text-to-SQL agents and LLM features running in production, with checks in place for when the model gets something wrong.
Stripe Connect, Easebuzz and webhooks. I'm extra careful with payment code, because a bug there costs someone real money.
Database design and query tuning, so things stay quick as the tables grow and big exports actually finish.
Setting up and running servers on AWS, including deployments, SSL certificates and CDNs.
React and TypeScript on the frontend, including web apps that run inside a Flutter shell and feel native.
04 · Experience
Jan 2019 · Dec 2022
Lachoo Memorial College of Science and Technology
This is where I started writing code seriously, and where I realised I wanted to do it for a living.
Dec 2022 · Sep 2023 · Jodhpur
Web Techno Software
My first job. I started out fixing bugs and ended up owning big parts of MyRentalSpot, including the renter flow, lease signing and the full Stripe Connect payment system. I also sped up slow queries on a transport company's CRM.

I completed my master's while working full-time as a developer.
