about me

building things that ship.

I'm Naveen — a full-stack developer with around seven years of building products in fast-moving teams. I like owning things end to end: architecture, UX polish, release quality, and going deep into backend services and infrastructure when it's needed.

Right now I'm at Kim.cc, leading engineering on an AI-powered customer-support platform — from helpdesk data ingestion pipelines and a knowledge-mining engine to graph-based AI orchestration and full infra modernisation on AWS.
