I'm Shanmukh Sriram, a software engineer and AI builder. I mostly work on building smart products that mix good engineering with actual product thinking.
From AI fitness coaching apps to community learning platforms, I really like taking an idea and turning it into something that actually works.
I've shipped software from start to finish — figuring out the problem, designing and building it, and getting it into production where people actually use it.
Worked in a startup founder's office, so I got to see up close how early teams make decisions, build stuff, and ship fast.
I've worked hands-on with React, Node.js, Supabase, and AI APIs — building products where the AI model is just one part, not the whole thing.
I'm really into AI agents, systems, and research — trying to understand why things work, where they break, and what still hasn't been figured out.
Good software happens where solid engineering, AI, and a real understanding of the user's problem all meet.
Engineering matters because a product that isn't reliable isn't really a product. Clean architecture, secure login, handling failures nicely — all the invisible stuff is what users end up trusting.
AI matters because software doesn't have to just follow instructions anymore. It can understand, adapt, and help — and the interesting part is figuring out where that power actually makes sense to use.
Understanding the user matters because none of it means anything if the problem isn't real. Before I write any code I want to know: is this actually filling a gap, and does it genuinely help the people using it?
Two products I took all the way from finding the problem to deploying them — the full set is over in the projects page.
Stack — JavaScript · React · Vite · Node.js · Express.js · Supabase · Google Gemini API
A full-stack AI fitness platform that came from a pretty common problem: people struggle with accountability and tracking their progress. Users log workouts, track progress, and get personalised coaching — backed by a multi-provider AI setup with health checks and automatic fallback.
Stack — TypeScript · React · Vite · Node.js · Express.js · Supabase
A platform focused on people actually swapping skills with each other instead of just passively sharing content — you find people by skill, show what you can teach, and connect to learn. I validated the idea through quick prototyping and iterating on features.
I'm always up for talking about intelligent systems, research, startups, and building tech that actually matters.
