FRONTEND ENGINEERING
React and Next.js Developer in Kerala
Salman Faris is a React developer in Kerala who builds dashboards and product interfaces in React and TypeScript, and search-friendly sites in Next.js. He also wrote NexGo, a Go web framework inspired by Next.js, so he understands how routing and server rendering work underneath.
Who this is for
For startups and teams that need a frontend built properly, or a React codebase put back in order.
React and Next.js solve different problems. React is the right base for an interface that behaves like an application, such as a dashboard behind a login. Next.js adds routing and server rendering, which matters when pages need to load fast and appear in search.
I pick based on the project, and I will tell you when neither is needed. For content-first sites, Astro often gives a faster result with far less JavaScript.
Problems this solves
The frontend has become hard to change
State is scattered, components repeat and small changes cause bugs elsewhere.
Pages are slow or invisible to search
Client-only rendering can leave crawlers with an empty page and users with a long wait.
The interface does not match the design
Spacing, keyboard access and mobile layouts drift as features pile up.
What I offer
Agreed in writing before work starts.

Dashboards and product interfaces in React and TypeScript with TanStack Query and Zustand.

Project examples
Real work where it exists, and clearly labelled concepts where it does not.
DevelopmentOPEN SOURCE
NexGo
A Go-powered web framework inspired by Next.js: file-based routing, server-side rendering, hot reload and API routes in a single binary.
How it works
Review the current state
For an existing app, I read the code and measure what is slow.
Choose the rendering model
Static, server or client rendering, page by page, based on what each page does.
Build shared pieces first
Layouts, forms and data hooks that the features reuse.
Ship features
Small releases you can test, in the order that matters most.
What you get
- Typed, reviewed React or Next.js code
- Reusable component structure
- Performance and accessibility checks
- Notes for the next developer
Where I work
I work from Calicut with teams across Kerala and remote startups. Most frontend work happens through shared previews and pull requests, so location rarely matters once the brief is clear.
Common questions
Is React or Next.js better for my website?
If the page sits behind a login, plain React is usually enough. If it must load fast and appear in search, Next.js or a static tool like Astro is the better fit. Many products use both.
Can you work inside my existing React codebase?
Yes. I start with a short review, agree the conventions to follow and work through pull requests, so your team stays in control of the code.
Why did you build NexGo?
NexGo brings the Next.js way of working to Go: file-based routing, server rendering and hot reload in a single binary. Building it meant learning those ideas from the inside, which helps on every Next.js project.
