About

Developer who ships, not just codes

I'm Shiva Karka, a full-stack developer in Hyderabad. I went from an Electrical engineering degree through operations roles at Cognizant into software — and now I build production web apps with React, Next.js and Node. I care about clean TypeScript, fast pages, and features users actually feel.

Full-Stack Builds

MERN & Next.js apps with TypeScript end-to-end — auth, payments, realtime features.

Cloud Aware

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02). Deploy on Vercel, Supabase, MongoDB Atlas.
