# Dhanush M on Tal

## Headline

MERN Stack Developer \| React · Node\.js · PostgreSQL· MongoDB \| Ex\-CTO @ IEDC

## About

I'm a full\-stack developer focused on the MERN stack , React, Node\.js, Express, and MongoDB with hands\-on experience building and deploying scalable web applications\. Currently deepening my skills in React\.js, Redux, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and DSA\. What makes my background slightly unusual for a developer: I spent over a year as CEO & CTO of the IEDC chapter at Heera College of Engineering & Technology \(under Kerala Startup Mission\), where I led a technical team, organized workshops on IoT and AI, and shipped prototypes including a Bio Bulb system and an EV automatic charger\. That experience means I can communicate with both engineers and non\-technical stakeholders a gap most early\-career developers have\. On the tech side, I'm comfortable with: JavaScript \(ES6\+\) · React\.js · Node\.js · Express\.js · MongoDB · PostgreSQL · Redux · EJS · REST APIs · Git/GitHub\. I'm actively working on personal projects and open to full\-stack developer roles where I can contribute from day one while continuing to grow\. If you're building something interesting with JavaScript, I'd love to connect\. 📬 dhanuxhm2002@gmail\.com · GitHub: https://github\.com/dhanushm1525 · LinkedIn: linkedin\.com/in/dhanushmanikandan
