About

A quick introduction to who I am and what I build.

I’m Athul Vinayak S M, a full-stack web developer from Kerala, India. I design, build and launch websites and web apps for real clients, and I enjoy the whole journey from first idea to a live, working product.

I studied Computer Science and Engineering at the College of Engineering and Management Punnapra (2019–2023), then added a Data Science & AI/ML in Python certification from Luminar Technolab in Kochi (2024). Since September 2024 I have worked as a freelance web developer.

My client work includes the official websites for Grace Rehab & Wellness Centre and CampTop Munnar, covering page structure, responsive design, WhatsApp enquiries, SEO and deployment. Alongside that, I build projects that go beyond websites, like an Android QR attendance app and an AI virtual mouse that follows hand gestures through a webcam.

I work mostly with React.js, Next.js, Node.js, Python, MongoDB and Firebase, and I care about clean, readable interfaces that are easy to use on any screen.

How I work

Three principles that shape every project I take on.

  1. End-to-end ownership

    From the first wireframe to production deployment, I take care of the whole stack: frontend, backend, database, hosting and everything in between.

  2. Built to scale

    I design every solution with growth in mind: clean architecture, efficient queries, secure APIs and infrastructure that keeps working as traffic grows.

  3. AI where it matters

    I use AI to automate workflows and improve products where it genuinely saves time or adds value, not as a gimmick.
