Product-first builder · Open to hire

I build fast web apps and products people use.

Hi, I'm Anurag Verma, a product-first engineer. I start from what the user needs, then build it end to end: web apps, backends and voice AI, shipped with Next.js, TypeScript and Node.

Next.js · TypeScript · Node
01 / Expertise

From first sketch to a deployed product.

01 / Full stack

Full-stack development

Fast, dynamic web apps on Next.js, React, Node and MongoDB or Postgres. Server actions, clean API integration and well-structured code.

02 / Product

Product engineering

Client portals, dashboards and complex forms, taken from first sketch to a deployed product with CI/CD behind it.

03 / AI and voice

AI and voice products

LLM integrations and real-time voice AI: speech-to-text, text-to-speech and live conversations with Vapi and LiveKit, shaped into features people actually use.

04 / System design

System design

Services that scale and fail gracefully: data models, APIs, queues, caching and the trade-offs between them, worked out before the first line of code.

05 / Backend

Backend and systems

Express and TypeScript services, monorepos with Turborepo, and a growing habit of reaching for Rust when speed matters.

06 / Open source

Open source on weekends

Community projects, pull requests and issue tracking. A good way to learn from strong developers and give back.

  • Voice AI under the hood: real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech with Vapi and LiveKit.
  • AI roleplay, manager coaching and call prep for life sciences commercial teams, where realism drives results.

Project 03 / Licensing

Solice

A transparent way to sell, buy and verify licences for art, with no middleman. Artists set the supply, terms and price of each licence, and funds go straight to their wallet.

Guitler

A fretboard you learn by touching. Every note, scale and chord shape is one tap from its breakdown. An iOS app, built on an open-source TypeScript library.

Project 04 / Fintech

PayTM clone

A payment app that simulates peer-to-peer payments and recognises bank transfers from a simulated banking API. Webhooks handle server-to-server calls, NextAuth covers Google and credentials, and Turborepo runs the monorepo.

05 / Off the clock

Also: I make noise, on purpose.

Now recording
Coming end of 2026

An album, out by the end of 2026

When the laptop closes, the guitar comes out. A little moody rock, a little funk, a touch of light jazz. Nothing to hear yet, but the first album lands before the year is over.

On repeat

Avid listener

Currently stuck inside Ants From Up There by Black Country, New Road. Playgen Spotify exists because I wanted to know how obscure my own taste is. The answer: very.

Off duty

Fun to hang out with

Will debug your code, then sing about it. Good company, better playlists, and always up for a jam or a long chat.

Have a project? Let's talk.

Also happy to talk system design, album art or which song is currently living in your head.
