Who I Am

I'm a Full-Stack Developer based in Maharashtra with a B.E. in Computer Science from Nagpur University (80% aggregate). I've been building production-grade web applications for over 2 years — from real-time chat platforms to AI-powered SaaS products.

My recent work includes FitAI, an AI fitness coach built with Next.js 14, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and the Grok API with streaming responses. I care deeply about performance, clean architecture, and developer experience.

Beyond code, I'm an anime enthusiast and sci-fi buff. When I'm not shipping features, I'm reading about distributed systems or watching something from the Ufotable catalog.
