What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build and ship production MERN applications end-to-end—owning APIs, performance, real-time experiences, and reliable deployments—while tackling hard problems and maintaining clean, maintainable code.

I’m a Full Stack Developer with 5+ years of hands-on experience building and shipping production-grade MERN stack applications. Most recently, I single-handedly built NumberWale—a live e-commerce platform managing 2+ lakh telecom number listings—handling MongoDB aggregation pipelines, JWT authentication, Razorpay/PhonePe payment integration, and VPS deployment with Nginx and CI/CD.

I genuinely enjoy the problem-solving side of engineering: shaving 70% off slow queries, designing clean APIs, and wiring real-time admin dashboards that give businesses actual visibility. I care about maintainable code, performance, and reliable delivery, which I’ve reinforced through work across multiple products, consistent API patterns, RBAC, real-time notifications, and strong test coverage.
