Full Stack → Backend Specialist · Learning from first principles
Started with MERN stack, built multiple production applications, and now diving deep into backend systems. Built real-world applications integrating payments, real-time communication, and AI APIs. Now focused on databases, distributed systems, and real-time infrastructure. One goal: understand how things actually work at scale.
I write regularly about backend architecture, system design, and my learning journey.
