RISHAV KUMAR

An engineering leader who never stopped shipping. By day I run engineering teams at NE Inc. By everything else, I'm still the person who opens a blank editor and builds the whole thing: backend, frontend, and the small details most people skip.

What I do

Full-stack web & mobile development, systems architecture, and hands-on product builds from first commit to production. Cross-platform apps with Flutter, modern web with React and Node, and the data plumbing underneath both.

How I work

Directly with founders and teams, end to end, no handoffs, no middle layer. What I design, I also build and ship. At NE Inc. that means technical strategy, team growth, architecture calls and delivery across multiple product lines.

What's next

I take on a small number of independent builds each year, building bespoke digital products for clients worldwide. If that's what brought you here, keep scrolling.

Off the clock

Gym at odd hours, road trips that turn into photo dumps, and a YouTube channel I keep promising myself I'll post to more often.

Two builds,
documented in full.

Not a list of everything I've shipped. These are the two I've written up end to end, from architecture and the decisions behind it through to production.
