I’m Karun Kumar Somu, a software engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable, cloud-native web applications and RESTful APIs. I enjoy working across the full stack—developing responsive UIs with React.js and Angular, building backend services with FastAPI/Flask and Node.js, and using PostgreSQL/MySQL for reliable data performance. I also focus on automation, reliability, and security. Through CI/CD improvements and containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes, I’ve helped reduce deployment time and improve runtime performance. I bring an AI integration mindset as well, using LangChain, RAG, and OpenAI APIs to enhance features like semantic search and accurate matching in production-ready applications.
