01 — about

I'm a software engineer currently working as a Backend Engineer at Yalu Dev Pvt Ltd, building and maintaining services with Node.js and MongoDB. Before this role, I worked as a freelance engineer across the MERN stack, shipping full-stack products end to end — from React front ends to Express/MongoDB back ends.
