Raghav Narang

Hi, I'm Raghav. I'm a senior software engineer with 7+ years of experience, originally from Amritsar — Guru ki Nagri. By day I'm with Proximity Works, embedded with India's #1 OTT platform on Search & Discovery. By night, when the toddler's asleep and the house finally goes quiet, I build Kartmint and Nutflick — and play whatever's on the PS5.

Now

I joined Proximity Works in December 2021 and have been embedded with the Search & Discovery team at India's #1 OTT platform ever since — helping 333M+ viewers find something to watch on a Friday night.

Most recently I shipped Conversational Discovery, an AI-powered feature that answers questions like “score of the India match” or “something funny for tonight” in plain language. Before that, Tabbed Tray — the little filter tabs that let you flip a row from English to Hindi or movies to shows in one tap — and Content Rating, where your thumbs-up and thumbs-down feed straight back into what the recommender shows you next.

On the side

Kartmint — A static-first ecommerce platform for small DTC brands. Browsing renders straight off Cloudflare's CDN (~20 ms anywhere in the world), transactions live on Workers + D1. Runs free up to ~50K visitors a day. I keep two demo stores live as proof: nutflick.kartmint.in for editorial nuts and dates, kripa.kartmint.in for puja items. Same platform, very different aesthetics — that's the point.

Nutflick.com — A production ecommerce store for editorial nuts and dates. Architected, built, and shipped solo on Next.js 15. Lighthouse 99 via SSG and ISR, Razorpay live in production. The work I'm proudest of when someone asks what I can do on my own.

Off the screen

I'm a husband to my wife and dad to a very curious, very loud toddler. Most evenings end with me being chased around the living room or hiding behind a curtain, which I'm told is the highest form of comedy if you're two.

When the kid's down for the night, I play on the PS5. Just wrapped Ghost of Yotei. Counting the days for AC: Black Flag Resynced and the Marvel's Wolverine game.
