A full-stack engineer who ships the whole thing

I build full-stack web applications and REST APIs end to end — from PostgreSQL schemas and Spring Boot services to typed React front ends. I care about clean, scalable code and shipping features that people actually use.

Currently a Software Engineer Intern at Applantics (PVT) LTD since Feb 2026. Building full-stack features across Laravel, Spring Boot, and Flutter with a cross-functional team.

I like taking a project all the way — schema, API, UI, Docker, deploy — so nothing gets lost in the handoff.
