Kevin Binu Thottumkal
Full-Stack Developer at Hivenue
ABOUT
I'm a Full-Stack Developer focused on building high-performance applications where clean architecture meets real-world impact. With a strong background across frontend frameworks, backend systems, and database optimization, I take products from concept to deployment — writing code that's scalable, tested, and built for users, not just specs. I'm always looking for my next challenge — ideally one where I can ship meaningful work alongside people who take their craft as seriously as I do.
