Background, how I work, and the numbers behind it
I'm a full-stack developer with 3+ years of experience building web applications end-to-end, from React/Next.js frontends to Node.js and Python backends. I like owning a feature from database schema to shipped UI, and I care about the unglamorous parts (error handling, caching, migrations) as much as the visible ones.
I spent my first two years at AlgoAcharya building trading dashboards and APIs for real-time market data - that's where I got serious about performance and API design. Now at Alite Projects, I own features end to end: React/Next.js frontends, Node.js APIs, Redis caching, and the PostgreSQL/MongoDB schemas underneath. I still gravitate toward backend problems when they show up - job queues, caching, data modeling - but I'm not choosing sides anymore.
My technical capabilities organized by category - from core backend specialization to cloud architectures and frontend integrations. Tap a technology to see it in action.

Where I've worked, and what I built while I was there
Design complex third-party API integrations, orchestrating automated workflows with n8n, and managing scalable data models in PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
Built Shortify, a URL shortener with a custom hash-based short-ID generator and a multi-layer Redis cache.
Related work: Shortify - URL Shortener, Tailor Track
Designed and integrated unified GraphQL and REST API layers, reducing client data-fetch latency by 40%.
Related work: Algorithmic Trading Platform
Optimized relational database schemas and queries in SQL Server, increasing data retrieval speed by 25%.
A few of the systems I've built: full-stack products, backend APIs, and an algorithmic trading platform for the Indian stock market.
A tailoring business management system for small and medium tailoring shops, built as a Turborepo monorepo with a Next.js web app, an Expo mobile app, and an Express + PostgreSQL API sharing a single validation layer.
A trading platform for the Indian equities market, built during my time at a fintech startup. I focused primarily on the frontend, with some backend contributions.
A URL shortener built to practice backend system design past basic CRUD. Combines deterministic hashing, MongoDB storage, and a tiered Redis cache to keep redirects fast as the mapping table grows.
A full-stack hospitality marketplace inspired by Airbnb, built with Next.js and Prisma. Covers multi-provider auth, host listings with map-based search, and a full booking flow from browsing to reservation.
A full-stack music streaming app inspired by Spotify, built with Next.js and Supabase. Handles song uploads, playback, liked songs, and Stripe-powered premium subscriptions.
Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Zustand · Backend: Node.js, Supabase, Stripe · Data: PostgreSQL
A real-time chat app built with Next.js, Prisma, and Pusher to get hands-on with real-time architecture beyond request/response CRUD. Supports one-on-one and group conversations, image messages, and live read receipts.
Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS · Backend: Node.js, NextAuth.js, Pusher, Cloudinary · Data: MongoDB, Prisma
