I'm Velmurugan (Velan), a full‑stack / cloud‑native developer from Chennai, India.
I enjoy building web apps end‑to‑end - from APIs and data models to clean, usable UIs.
- Software Development Engineer I @ Rootquotient
- B.E. Computer Science, College of Engineering, Guindy (Anna University)
- Mostly working with Node.js, React, serverless, and AWS
If you want the full story (case studies, timeline, skills, blogs), it’s all here:
I also work with things like Redis, Laravel, Docker, Nginx, and various AWS services whenever the project needs them.
- Building and maintaining production apps at work
- Playing with serverless patterns on AWS
- Writing about performance, reliability, and “real-world” trade‑offs
- Slowly grinding through LeetCode to keep problem‑solving sharp
Some repos I like to point people to:
You’ll find more projects (with live links) on https://velan.site.
If these cards ever fail to load, you can just comment them out.
I like writing about the stuff I actually use at work:
- Lambda Cold Starts Demystified
- What Actually Is AWS Lambda?
- Salesforce, SOQL, and Faster Client Portals

- Cricket fan (especially Test cricket + Virat Kohli)
- Big on MCU, Modern Family, and movie soundtracks
- Certified cat person — hanging out with Ronaldo whenever I can
