About

I build and ship production MERN stack applications — not just side projects, but real systems handling live business operations. In my 1+ year as a Full Stack Developer, I independently built and deployed kalyanifoods.co — a complete e-commerce platform for a live business. That meant designing the MongoDB schema, engineering 70+ REST APIs in Node.js/Express.js, building a React Admin Dashboard, securing everything with JWT + RBAC + reCAPTCHA v3, and deploying on a Linux VPS with Nginx + PM2 at 99.9% uptime. End to end. Solo. At GPT Software LLP, I built and maintained 50+ production APIs, implemented authentication systems, developed server-rendered UIs with EJS, and collaborated with a 3-person team across 4 production releases — all while keeping error rates low and systems stable. What I'm strong at: → Node.js + Express.js backend architecture → REST API design and performance optimization → JWT authentication and role-based security → MongoDB schema design with Mongoose → Linux VPS deployment — Nginx, PM2, zero-downtime Currently open to Node.js Backend Developer / Fullstack / MERN Stack Developer roles 📩 akshaywagh7620@gmail.com
