Ravikumar Badami

Results-driven Full-Stack Software Engineer specializing in Node.js, TypeScript, React, and PostgreSQL. Proven track record of taking end-to-end ownership of web and mobile applications in fast-paced environments. Adept at architecting scalable full-stack data flows, managing DevOps deployments, and optimizing system performance, notably reducing API response times by 83% (600ms to <100ms).

Passionate about delivering reliable, production-ready code through rigorous testing and robust caching strategies.

Full-Stack Software Engineer at Lumiether Research (Startup) (2025-11 – Present)

• Wrote the web and mobile apps from scratch using the MERN stack and Flutter — no handoffs, just end-to-end ownership across the entire product as part of a small startup team where everyone had to pull their weight across every layer.
• Made both apps up to 6x faster (load times under 100ms) by hunting down slow queries, trimming frontend overhead, and adding Redis caching.
• Rethought how data flows between React, Flutter, and the Node.js backend so the database doesn't buckle when traffic spikes.
• Wrapped the backend in Docker so anyone on the team can run and deploy it without environment headaches.
• Covered everything from the frontend to the APIs, and stayed on top of code reviews to keep bugs out of production.

Software Engineering Intern at Lumiether Research (Startup) (2025-04 – 2025-10)

• Wrote Node.js/Express backend modules for core product features — clean REST endpoints backed by PostgreSQL schemas designed to keep latency low.
• Wrote integration tests and ran Postman checks each sprint, catching bugs before they became someone else's problem.
• Worked on Git feature branches, joined code reviews, and kept the backend reliable through consistent testing habits.

Full-Stack Developer at Freelancing (2024-11 – 2025-02)

• Built a production art marketplace end to end (React.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, Supabase, Redis) — backend APIs, schema design, responsive frontend UX, and RBAC-driven full-stack data flows for real clients.
