Hi, I'm Kaki Pavan Kumar

Software Developer · Full-Stack & Problem Solver

I build robust, user-centric applications from idea to deployment. I enjoy designing clean APIs, consistent front-ends, and shipping features that actually solve problems for users.

About Pavan

A builder at heart – comfortable jumping between design, backend logic and deployment pipelines.

I’m a software developer who loves turning messy ideas into working products. My experience spans front-end, back-end, databases and deployment, with a strong focus on readable code, meaningful abstractions and performance.

I enjoy collaborating with designers, product teams and other developers, and I’m happiest when we’re shipping features in small, safe iterations – backed by tests, logs and metrics.

My long-term goal is to work on engineering teams that care about code quality, developer tooling, and reliability, while mentoring others and continuously sharpening my own skills.
