Senior Full-Stack & Cloud Engineer
Gourav Kashiv
Full-Stack Engineer | Cloud, DevOps & AI-Enabled Products
I build and maintain production web systems from conception to cloud deployment. Specializing in end-to-end architecture, frontend engineering with Next.js/React, distributed backend APIs, AWS infrastructure automation, and applied generative AI workflows.
01.End-to-End Ownership
From database schema and API contracts to automated CI/CD and AWS EC2 hosting.
02.Proven Performance
Measured optimizations, including cutting an enterprise ERP load time 6× (30s to 5s).
03.Applied AI Systems
Production LLM integrations and peer-reviewed generative model research (IICTDS-2025).
Verifiable Engineering Evidence
Production Benchmarks & Architectural Impact
Every metric below is backed by shipped source code, client deployments, or peer-reviewed research.
Build & Load Speedup
30s → 5s Initial Load
Migrated 250+ file institutional ERP from legacy Webpack to Vite + pnpm, reducing development spin-up and client initial paint times drastically.
OTA Reservation Sync
MMT & Goibibo Real-Time
Engineered serverless Edge Functions for The Retreat Operations Manager, parsing external iCal booking feeds to prevent double-bookings.
Published AI Research
NMIMS Chandigarh
Co-authored peer-reviewed benchmark study evaluating Text-to-Video Generative Architectures, presented in December 2025.
Production Cloud Hosting
Route 53 & SSL Automation
Architected scalable Linux hosting pipelines on AWS with Docker containerization, custom reverse proxies, and Nginx SSL configuration.
Engineering Identity & Capabilities
Building Reliable Systems from Concept to AWS Production
I am a product-oriented software engineer who works across the entire product lifecycle. Rather than treating frontend, backend, and deployment as isolated silos, I take holistic ownership—translating ambiguous user needs into reliable schemas, accessible client applications, and resilient cloud infrastructure.
My background spans institutional ERP software managing thousands of student and faculty records, hospitality platforms synchronizing live booking availability with global OTAs like MakeMyTrip and Goibibo, and modern Next.js SaaS platforms.
I hold a Master’s in Computer Science & Engineering from Panjab University, where I conducted research on generative model benchmarking (presented at IICTDS-2025), and a Bachelor’s in CSE from Chitkara University.
