Beyond the Code

A bit about me

I'm a Computer Engineering student in Surat, India, and a full-stack engineer who's spent the last year+ shipping real production systems — not just class projects. I like the full range: architecting a SaaS from a blank repo, wiring up a Shopify migration that can't afford to lose a single record, or fine-tuning a computer vision model on satellite imagery. If it ships and someone actually uses it, I'm interested.
