What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can own full-stack features, build scalable MERN/NestJS backends, improve UX performance, and drive CI/CD and cloud deployments—while mentoring others and shipping secure, high-impact products.

I’m a Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience specializing in full-stack development. I build responsive, user-friendly interfaces with modern UI/UX practices and develop scalable backends powered by SQL/NoSQL databases.

In my current role as Senior MERN Developer at Webbugs, I lead development of scalable full-stack applications using MERN, NestJS, and Python/Flask microservices. I implement CI/CD pipelines, handle cloud deployments (AWS, GCP, Vercel), and optimize databases for high-performance apps.

Earlier, I worked as a MERN Stack Developer at zyra, building and maintaining React/Next.js frontends and Node.js/Express backends. I integrated GraphQL/REST APIs with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and DynamoDB while improving UI/UX performance and responsiveness.

I’ve also delivered Shopify solutions as a Lead Shopify Developer, creating custom themes and automation workflows through Shopify API integrations. I enjoy mentoring junior developers, conducting code reviews, and staying ahead of industry trends while shipping reliable products.
