01 about

Engineer first,
pixel-pusher second.

const ajay = {
  role: "Full-stack Developer",
  based: "India",
  focus: ["web performance", "DX"],
  obsessions: ["type safety", "60fps"],
  currently: "shipping side projects",
};

I'm a developer who cares about the parts users never see — the query that got 40× faster, the bundle that lost 300 kB, the deploy that stopped waking people up at 3 a.m. I like turning fuzzy problems into small, boring, reliable systems.

Comfortable across the stack: React and TypeScript on the front, Node and Postgres behind it, containers and CI holding it all together.

02 stack

Tools I reach for.

{ }

Frontend

Interfaces that stay fast on a mid-range phone, not just on my laptop.

  • React
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • Vite
  • GSAP
</>

Backend

APIs with clear contracts, sane errors, and boring, predictable behaviour.

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • Redis
  • GraphQL
▲

Infra & Tooling

Repeatable builds, short feedback loops, deploys that are non-events.

  • Docker
  • GitHub Actions
  • AWS
  • Vercel
  • Nginx
  • Linux
