Building as a software engineer in Kochi, Kerala
I work from Kochi and ship web apps, mobile builds, and client projects for teams in India and abroad.
I live and work from Kochi, Kerala. That shows up on my site, my profiles, and how I talk about what I do.
Not because location is the whole story. It helps the right people find me.
If someone searches for a software engineer in Kochi, a React developer in Kerala, or a freelancer who gets Indian business hours, I want them to land on something real. Not a vague "remote worldwide" page with no anchor.
What I build from here
Day to day it looks like most product-minded dev work:
Web apps with Next.js, typed React, Postgres, CMS-backed sites when the client needs to edit content.
Mobile with Expo when the product belongs on a phone.
Client projects for brands I've worked with: retail, interiors, local business, side projects that grew legs.
Consultation when someone needs a second opinion before they spend six months building the wrong thing.
Time zones
Overlap with India is easy. Europe and the Gulf work for a lot of clients I've had. US West Coast is tighter, but async-friendly projects still run fine.
Why I put Kerala on the portfolio
Search (and AI summaries) increasingly mix location with intent: "developer near me," "Kochi web developer," "Kerala software consultant."
A page that only says "full-stack developer" competes with the entire planet. Saying I'm in Kochi, Kerala, India is just being clear. There are a lot of Robins. I'm Robin Kurian, and I ship under itsrobin.dev.
Working together
I'm not an agency. I write code, review what you have, and help you ship. Some gigs are a few calls. Others run for months.
Local to Kerala? Great. Abroad and want someone who communicates plainly? That works too.
