About Me

Turning ideas into elegant code

I'm a Full-Stack Developer based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, with hands-on production experience at HCLTech — building React UIs for an AI-powered EdTech platform, resolving production bugs, and maintaining GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

Before that, I designed and shipped client-facing web solutions at Alulink Facade, working directly with stakeholders to translate real business requirements into polished interfaces. I hold a B.Tech in IT from SVCE (GPA 8.1 / 10, July 2024).

I care about root cause analysis, code quality, and shipping things that actually work — not just look good. Currently open to full-time roles.
