What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, innovation, and collaboration in software development.

I am an experienced full-stack developer specializing in MERN stack technologies (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js). My focus is on building scalable applications and integrating RESTful APIs. Proficient in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, I have strong expertise in database management, particularly with MongoDB, and am well-versed in authentication protocols such as Google Authentication.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed several projects that showcase my skills and commitment to sustainable development. My capstone project, Sustainify, promotes sustainable living and empowers individuals to embrace eco-friendly practices. I have also created dynamic web applications like Trouble Engines, allowing users to share insights on challenging car engines, and Hand Cricket, a nostalgic game transformed into a software version.

In addition to my technical skills, I have demonstrated leadership by leading a troop of NCC Cadets and contributing to various projects on GitHub. I am dedicated to continuous learning and have completed certifications in Flutter development and UI/UX design. I seek to leverage my skills in software engineering, project leadership, and problem-solving to contribute to impactful development projects.
