(About Me)
I’m a full-stack developer and CS undergrad at NIT Calicut. I enjoy building clean, scalable products that solve real problems. Most of my work revolves around React & Next.js, Django REST APIs, and PostgreSQL.


Outside of development, I spend my time travelling, shooting photos & videos, riding, and trading stocks. I’m drawn to systems, whether it’s software architecture, visual composition, or market behavior.
Currently open to internships, freelance projects, and full-time roles.
