Hello World | Namaskaram 🙏
I'm Merwin Poulose
Full-stack engineer 👨💻
I'm a full-stack engineer, a decade into the craft. I started out shipping PHP/Laravel applications and have spent the last several years working at the intersection of headless CMS, modern frontend, and integration architecture.
I tend to work on the foundational parts — integrations, shared systems, the bits that need to be solid before the rest can be built.
What I work on
CMS-driven product systems
Headless and traditional CMS across Sanity, Storyblok, Silverstripe, CraftCMS, and WordPress — schema modelling, page-builder architectures, editorial workflows. The editor is a user, not an afterthought.
Design-system foundations
Context-aware spacing and theming, animation primitives, block composition rules that work site-wide.
AI-augmented editorial tools
Cron-driven content generation, custom editorial triggers, structured AI output that flows into the same content tree humans edit.
AI-native SaaS architecture
Agentic query pipelines: LLM plans, writes SQL, generates and runs visualisation code in an isolated sandbox. Vector search, rate limiting, full product thinking.
Integration architecture
E-commerce systems under domain constraints, video pipelines, search, payments. Designed once, reused everywhere.
Performance & accessibility
Fast, accessible sites as a baseline — built in from the start, not retrofitted before launch. Load performance, keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and keeping it that way as the product grows.
