About Me
I'm an 25-year-old full-stack developer from India. I'm the author of humanize-this, which has got great appreciation from fellow developers and I intent to keep maintaining it in order to contribute to the community.
I share my knowledge and experiences through writing on LinkedIn and write about various topics from webSockets and webRTC to containerization using docker and Kubernetes clusters.
With 2 years of experience in full-stack development, I focus on delivering high-quality software and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
