Full-stack MERN developer building fast, scalable web apps and secure REST APIs.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Developer focused on building responsive, production-ready web applications with modern JavaScript and the MERN stack. I combine strong frontend/UI skills with backend API development, so my work delivers end-to-end user experiences.
As an Associate Software Engineer at Optimiser, I designed, developed, and optimized RESTful APIs with a reported 40% response-time improvement. I also implemented API performance tuning, caching strategies, and query optimization to reduce latency and increase throughput.
I enjoy building robust backend architectures with an emphasis on scalability, reliability, and fault tolerance in production. I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams to integrate frontend applications and third-party services, ensuring seamless data exchange and high system availability.
I’ve also shipped MERN-based projects like a CityBuddy location platform and an Online Auction System, where I implemented user workflows and automation (email notifications). On the side, I strengthen problem-solving through 700+ DSA problems on LeetCode and GFG.
