What I'm looking for

I want to build scalable web products where I can design high-performance RESTful APIs, optimize databases, and own CI/CD automation on AWS—while applying AI/automation to improve processing speed and reduce manual work.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 3+ years of professional experience architecting scalable web applications using MERN stack, Next.js, TypeScript, and Python. I focus on engineering high-performance RESTful APIs, optimizing database queries across MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, and building automation-ready systems that are easy to maintain and scale.

In my recent work, I delivered measurable impact by reducing deployment time by 80%, accelerating processing time by 30%, and cutting manual effort by 50% through automation and system optimization. I’ve integrated payment gateway workflows (PhonePe, Razorpay), built secure authentication using JWT, and expanded production APIs for authentication, product management, and order processing.

I also love applying AI and data engineering to real products—such as architecting a production chatbot platform using Node.js, Express.js, React.js, and OpenAI ChatGPT API, with MySQL-backed analytics dashboards. From Jenkins CI/CD pipelines with Docker and AWS S3 deployments to Python automation with Pandas and MongoDB data ingestion pipelines, I aim to ship reliably, iterate quickly, and keep systems performance-focused.
