About
Full stack engineer with 2 years shipping production web and mobile products — frontend-heavy, with backend and distributed-systems depth.
Built enterprise systems used daily by 1000+ hotel staff at Taj Dubai and Emirates Palace. Proposed and led a 12-library V2 architectural rewrite, shipped in 1 month. Delivered a public-facing government website solo in 7 days. Shipped a multi-role SaaS as sole developer. Won $1000 at a hackathon building an AI platform on Solana.
Stack-agnostic. Comfortable across TypeScript, React, Next.js, Angular, Node.js, Rust, gRPC, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes. I care about owning things and shipping them — not about which framework is in the job description.

Currently available for remote full stack roles. Based in India (IST / UTC+5:30) — comfortable overlapping with US or EU hours. Reach out at vaibhavzope18@gmail.com

The Nirvana Wellness

private · client work
freelance · Apr–Jul 2026

Multi-role wellness SaaS shipped solo — booking, Zoom, payments

A production multi-role SaaS (customer, mentor, admin) built as sole developer in 4 months. Calendar-based booking against live mentor availability, auto-provisioned Zoom sessions, Razorpay payments, an admin CMS, and a React Native companion app.

Built
  • Shipped the full Next.js app end to end as sole developer — customer, mentor, and admin surfaces.
  • Built an admin CMS covering 4 content types plus a React Native (Expo) companion app.
Challenging (but overcame)
  • Modelled 14+ Prisma entities on Neon PostgreSQL behind NextAuth v5 across 3 roles — one schema serving customer, mentor, and admin flows without leaking data between them.
  • Built calendar-based booking against mentor availability with auto-provisioned Zoom sessions and Razorpay payments — the whole booking-to-session path is hands-off.

Housekeeping PWA

private · NDA
enterprise PWA @ Upswing · Sept 2024–Mar 2026

Enterprise hotel operations for Taj Dubai & Emirates Palace

Awarded Star Performer of the Quarter (Aug 2025) while leading this project. A multi-org, multi-property PWA managing housekeeping operations across 5 modules — used daily by 1000+ hotel staff at Taj Dubai and Emirates Palace. Proposed and led a complete V2 architectural rewrite, shipped in 1 month.

Built
  • Built end-to-end PWA with 5 modules (Cleaning Tasks, Guest Requests, Complaints, Lost & Found, Maintenance) — deployed and actively used across Taj Dubai and Emirates Palace.
  • Integrated gRPC-web for efficient client-server communication and NgRx/SignalStore for state management.
Challenging (but overcame)
  • Proposed and led a complete V2 architectural rewrite from scratch — an Nx monorepo of 12 shared libraries on SignalStore, shipped in 1 month, retiring a year-old V1 bottleneck.
  • Engineered a custom Firebase service worker for push notifications with intelligent routing — directs to correct module on tap, suppresses when app is focused.
  • Created a reusable forms component library that eliminated duplicate form logic across all 5 modules.

web component @ Upswing

Embeddable web component — works on any frontend, no framework required

A drop-in trip-planning widget that any hotel can embed with a single script tag — no React, no Angular, no dependencies. Built with Stencil.js web components, a hand-rolled gRPC-web client with binary protobuf serialization, real-time Firebase chat, dynamic Mapbox rendering, and Stripe payments.

Built
  • Built the Stencil.js widget as a framework-agnostic web component — just a script tag to embed on any page.
  • Integrated Firebase for real-time chat and Stripe for payment processing within the widget.
Challenging (but overcame)
  • Built a custom gRPC-web client with binary protobuf serialization for efficient API communication.
  • Implemented dynamic Mapbox rendering that updates based on conversational context — single property shows a pin, all properties show a cluster view.

Lovable for Anchor smart contracts — Hackathon Winner

An AI platform that cuts Solana smart contract development time by 80% — natural-language prompt to deployed Anchor contract in under 5 minutes. Multi-stage LLM pipeline, live reasoning visualization, and secure K8s-isolated compilation environments. Processed 1000+ contract requests during testing.

Built
  • Shipped 6+ AI-assisted features — contract generation, code analysis, security suggestions, and IDL/client SDK generation.
  • Built end-to-end platform: Next.js 15 frontend with Monaco Editor (Rust syntax highlighting), LangChain multi-stage LLM pipeline (planner → coder → finalizer), and real-time streaming via SSE.
  • Designed containerized Anchor build/deploy/test environment using Docker + Kubernetes — each compile runs in an isolated container so one user's broken code can't affect another's.
Challenging (but overcame)
  • Architected a 4-service microservices system with one-click deployment and live monitoring, scaling to 100+ concurrent compilation jobs via Kubernetes orchestration and a BullMQ job queue — concurrency limits, job timeouts, and graceful failure keep it responsive under parallel load.
  • Won $1000 USD at a competitive hackathon against teams with larger engineering groups.

Orderbook

distributed systems

Distributed crypto exchange engine — Rust matching engine over Kafka

A limit order book matching engine written in Rust with price-time priority, split into 3 Kafka-decoupled services (matching engine, API, settlement) and fronted by a Next.js client. Handles limit and market orders, partial fills, indexed cancellation, and double-entry settlement with exact decimal precision.

Built
  • Decoupled the system into 3 services over Kafka, with bincode snapshot persistence so the in-memory book recovers after restart.
  • Shipped a Next.js client with JWT and Google OAuth on top of the API service, in a Turborepo monorepo.
Challenging (but overcame)
  • Built the matching engine in Rust with price-time priority — BTreeMap price levels over FIFO queues — supporting limit and market orders, partial fills, and indexed order cancellation.
  • Wrote a double-entry settlement service posting balanced ledger entries per trade with idempotent trade references and exact decimal precision, so no trade can be applied twice or drift on rounding.

AI workspace assistant — stateful LangGraph agent over Gmail, Drive & GitHub

A workspace assistant built on a stateful LangGraph agent over Gemini. It plans a request, calls tools in a loop across your connected workspace accounts, and self-reviews its answer with a critic node before returning it.

Built
  • Shipped as a Bun + Turborepo monorepo — Next.js 16 chat client, Express 5 API with JWT auth, Prisma/PostgreSQL chat persistence.
  • Containerized the whole stack with Docker Compose for one-command deploys.
Challenging (but overcame)
  • Built the LangGraph agent across 4 node types (router, synthesizer, tool executor, critic) — the graph plans, loops through tool calls, and critiques its own output before answering.
  • Integrated 3 OAuth-scoped workspace clients (Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub) so the agent searches mail, reads documents, and queries repositories on the user's behalf without over-scoping access.
