About Me

Building the Future, One Line at a Time

01. Who I Am

I'm a BSc IT student and passionate Next.js / MERN Full-Stack Developer who loves turning ideas into reality through code. Currently in my final year, I've spent the last two years building production-grade applications that solve actual problems.

02. What I Do

I specialize in building modern, production-grade applications using Next.js and the MERN stack. From crafting seamless user experiences with server components to architecting robust backend systems, I focus on creating solutions that are both beautiful and performant.

03. What Problems I Solve

I build applications that make a real impact: community platforms for reporting local issues, dashboards for farmers to track crop prices, real-time chat systems, and productivity tools. Every project is an opportunity to solve real-world challenges with clean, maintainable code.
