About

A few things about me.

I'm a full-stack engineer with 1+ years building MERN, PERN, and core-PHP applications end to end — from database schema and API design to the pixels users actually touch.

These days I'm focused on shipping polished, fast web apps with Next.js and TypeScript with node.js, where the engineering is solid and the experience feels considered.

I deploy and maintain everything myself on my own Oracle VPS, so I live with the whole lifecycle: build, ship, monitor, and fix.

I care about design as much as engineering — a product should be a pleasure to use, not just functionally correct.

Web Developer

NSEG Pvt. Ltd. · Ahmedabad, India

Feb 2025 — Present

  • Developed a full-featured admin dashboard with lead management and a Jodit React-powered blog editor | enabling non-technical team members to manage content independently without developer involvement
  • Diagnosed and resolved a Next.js SSR incompatibility with Jodit React by implementing dynamic imports with ssr: false | restoring production build stability and eliminating hydration errors
  • Designed and developed responsive landing pages for 3 of the company's child/subsidiary websites using Next.js + Tailwind CSS and PHP + Bootstrap | delivering consistent UI across multiple tech stacks
  • Identified and eliminated redundant API calls across multiple pages where 4 endpoints were each being invoked 15–16 times per page load; refactored state management using React Context API | reducing total API calls by ~98% (from ~60 calls per page to 4 once on the initial site load)
