My Skills
My Expertise
Backend Development
I specialize in building scalable and efficient server-side systems using frameworks like Node.js, Express.js, and NestJS. My expertise includes designing robust APIs, implementing real-time updates with WebSockets, and employing tools like Docker and Nginx for containerization and reverse proxy setups.
Databases
I have extensive experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL and NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Redis. I use Prisma ORM for streamlined database management and focus on optimizing database queries to enhance application performance and scalability.
Blockchain Development
My blockchain expertise revolves around the Ethereum ecosystem, where I use Solidity for smart contract development and Hardhat for testing and deployment. I am also proficient with decentralized storage solutions like IPFS and blockchain interaction tools like Ethers.js.
Programming Languages
I am proficient in JavaScript and TypeScript for backend development and have a strong foundation in C++, C, and SQL for system-level programming and database management. Additionally, I am skilled in Solidity for smart contract development on the Ethereum blockchain.
Frontend Knowledge
have a basic understanding of React for creating dynamic user interfaces and am skilled in HTML and CSS for responsive web design. While my focus remains on backend development, I leverage frontend knowledge to build full-stack projects when needed.
Tools & Utilities
I use Git and GitHub for version control and Postman for API testing to ensure reliable application development. My development workflow is powered by Visual Studio Code, a tool I use extensively for writing, debugging, and managing code.
About Me
I am a final-year Electronics, Communication, and Information Engineering student at Pashchimanchal Campus, IOE, with a passion for backend development and emerging technologies. My expertise lies in designing and building scalable server-side systems using modern tools and frameworks like NodeJS, ExpressJS, and NestJS, alongside a strong foundation in databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis.
I have completed several projects that demonstrate my ability to craft robust APIs, manage data workflows, and solve complex problems. Additionally, I have worked on projects in blockchain, utilizing technologies like Solidity, Hardhat, and IPFS to create decentralized applications. I am eager to apply my skills and knowledge to contribute to innovative solutions in backend development.
