## Headline

MERN Developer who ships AI integration, Stripe payments, JWT auth \| React · Node · MongoDB \| Open to work

## About

I’m an engineer who learned to build for the web and didn’t stop once I started shipping\. I come from a Mechatronics Engineering background \(B\.E\. from MMIT Pune\), where I spent 4 years understanding how systems work across hardware, software, and automation\. That mindset of breaking problems down and building things that actually work is something I carried into software development\. In 2024, I made a deliberate shift and joined Masai School’s intensive Full Stack Web Development program\. It involved 2000\+ hours of coding, DSA, problem\-solving, and building real applications under pressure\. It felt closer to working as a developer than being in a classroom\. Today, I build full stack applications using React\.js, Next\.js, Node\.js, Express\.js, MongoDB, TypeScript, REST APIs, JWT authentication, Stripe, LLM APIs, Tailwind CSS, Git, Vercel, and Render\. I focus on real integrations, clean architecture, and building things that actually work\. I’m currently looking for entry\-level or internship opportunities in Full Stack, Frontend, or Backend development, either in Pune or remotely\. You can find more about my work on my portfolio\.
