Open to full-time software engineering roles

Hello, I'm

Deven Rikame

Full Stack Developer / Software Development Engineer

Mumbai-based software developer with hands-on experience building and delivering production websites, CRM systems, SaaS products, and AI-powered applications. I work across frontend, backend, databases, authentication, and deployment using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Firebase, Supabase, and SQL.

01 / About

Business understanding meets hands-on engineering.

My path into software started with a commerce background and data analysis, then grew into full-stack development through structured training and real client work. That mix helps me understand both the product goal and the engineering required to deliver it.

I work across the development lifecycle: gathering requirements, designing responsive interfaces, building APIs and database workflows, implementing authentication and role-based access, and deploying production applications.

I'm most effective in teams that value ownership, clear communication, continuous learning, and software that produces a measurable outcome for users or the business.

End-to-end ownership Client communication Fast, practical learning
