Full-StackDeveloperandalittlebitofeverything

I'm a backend-first builder from India. I write systems that don't break at scale. What starts as a weekend project usually turns into a full-scale platform — because I genuinely can't stop.

I don't wait around for the right moment. I engineer it. My stack is Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Redis — and I know exactly when to reach for each one.

I'm unreasonably stubborn about quality. Pixel-perfect UIs, bulletproof APIs, zero-downtime deployments — I care about the details no one else bothers with. And I ship.
