About Me

Background, education, and development interests

I'm a B.Tech Computer Science Engineering student at Malla Reddy College of Engineering (MRCE), Hyderabad, with a strong focus on full-stack web development.

I learn by building practical projects. My work includes an AI resume optimizer with background task queues, a local freelance marketplace connecting students with businesses, and an e-commerce platform.

My primary backend toolkit includes Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, complemented by React for the user interface. I focus on writing clean REST APIs, structured database schemas, and straightforward code.
