About Me

Backend-Focused MERN Stack Developer Crafting Scalable Systems

I'm a B.Tech CSE student at Malla Reddy College of Engineering and a backend-focused MERN Stack developer passionate about building scalable backend systems, production-ready APIs, and AI-powered products.

I learn by building real-world projects — from resume optimization platforms leveraging Gemini AI to freelance marketplaces with secure authentication and full-stack e-commerce systems. I'm deeply interested in system design, queue-based architectures, and creating reliable software deployed to production.

My focus is on backend engineering with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Redis — complemented by frontend skills in React to deliver complete, production-ready solutions.
