MILIND KUMAR MISHRA
Software engineer specializing in React, Next.js, and high-performance UI engineering.
Experience
Building AI products for 2M+ users. Ownership across growth, revenue, platform stability, and expressive UI.
- Revamped Model Selector UX resulting lift in model adoption. Turned a boring list into a model discovery grid.
- Shipped ChatGPT history imports enabling 3.5K+ users to migrate from ChatGPT to Merlin.
- Drove retention and revenue wins, payment flow improvements reduced failures, churn interventions improved retention.
- Built real-time prompt enhancement streaming and interaction UX that feels instant because slow AI is broken AI.
- Engineered animation-heavy experiences for Thine, blending motion design with performance at scale.
Built 0 to 1 hiring and skill validation platforms. Owned full-stack, growth tools, and product velocity in early-stage chaos.
- Architected and shipped decentralized skill validation MVPs with voting consensus across 150+ validators. Turned hiring bias into algorithmic fairness.
- Built proctored assessments with real-time streaming—cut time-to-interview by 50%, because speed is a feature.
- Shipped recruiter dashboards (analytics, heatmaps, search) and candidate flows. Made hiring data actually useful.
- Built AI-powered assessment systems with Vercel AI SDK + OpenAI. Questions generated, not guessed.
- Shipped internal tools and ops dashboards that improved campaign ROI and ops efficiency. Made the team faster.
Industry-academia R&D on real-time IoT positioning systems. Shipped research-grade accuracy into production.
- Built 3D positioning and visualization systems for factories and labs. Improved UWB positioning from ~20cm to <10cm research-grade precision that shipped.
- Developed MQTT dashboards for real-time IoT device visualization. Made invisible data visible.
- Dockerized services, reduced deployment time by 80%, maintained 99.9% uptime. Boring infrastructure that just works.
UX, design systems, and technical education. First taste of shipping things people actually use.
- Designed onboarding flows and managed a design system that increased dev velocity significantly.
- Wrote beginner-friendly HTML/CSS/JS content adopted by 2K+ learners. Improved course completion rates.
- Shipped marketing collateral that contributed to a 20% lead gen increase. Words and pixels that converted.
Projects
Full-stack AI product that generates personalized learning roadmaps. 5,600+ organic users, zero marketing budget.
- Shipped end-to-end: prompt design, structured LLM output parsing, canvas-based visualization, and responsive UX.
- Generated 250+ career roadmaps with real-time streaming. Turns vague goals into actionable learning paths.
- Built custom canvas rendering engine for interactive node-based navigation. Made learning plans feel explorable.
Open-source JSON debugging tool. Built because I wanted VSCode on the browser to visualise request/response.
- 143 unique users, 43% return rate. One developer used it 49 times—apparently it's less painful than alternatives.
- Format, validate, and explore JSON with tree/grid views. Handles deeply nested structures without choking.
