Vivek K.

Since 2009, I’ve been building web, mobile, backend and cloud applications across different industries, working independently, leading teams and partnering with businesses long-term. In the era of AI, I’ve fully adapted my development workflow around AI-assisted development and vibe coding to plan, design and ship products much faster, while using my 16+ years of experience to guide the right technical decisions. 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 • Plan — Start with the requirements and use Claude in Plan Mode along with my own engineering experience to break down the problem, explore the approach, identify edge cases and create a practical development plan. • Design — Feed the finalized requirements into Figma AI and Framer, along with the product's branding, theme, target users and design requirements, to quickly create and refine the UI direction. • Connect & Build — Use MCP-based workflows to connect tools and context, then use Claude Code, Cursor and Replit to turn the approved plan and designs into working frontend, backend, APIs and integrations. • Review — Use AI for code review, debugging, refactoring and testing, while using my engineering experience to validate the architecture, business logic, security, performance and edge cases. • Ship — Test, deploy and continue improving the product based on real usage. I let AI handle a large part of the development work, while my experience guides the architecture, technical decisions and final quality. I know where AI can save significant time and where its output needs to be questioned, changed or rebuilt.
