A timeline of my learning, projects, and milestones.
My Journey
I am a self-taught full-stack developer from Pimpri, Maharashtra. My journey began with curiosity about programming and has grown through consistent practice, online learning, real projects, and internships.

What I’m Building Now
Today, I am focused on becoming a stronger full-stack engineer by building production-minded applications with:
- TypeScript
- Next.js
- NestJS
- PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM
- Better Auth and secure authentication flows
- Turborepo monorepos
- Docker-based local development
- AI-assisted developer tools and LLM integrations
My goal is to keep learning in public, contribute to open source, build useful SaaS products, and grow through real engineering work.
