Professional Snapshot

Backend-focused developer with strong JavaScript understanding including closures, async/await, event loop behavior, and prototype chain fundamentals. I build APIs with clear architecture, strict validation, and reliable authentication boundaries.

I write code I can explain line by line. I am a fresher, but I ramp fast because my fundamentals are practical: API design, schema design, debugging flow, and disciplined problem solving through consistent coding practice.

Selected Projects

CivicDesk — Civic Complaint Management System

2024

Role-based complaint portal where citizens file complaints with photo/video proof and police officers manage cases through a Kanban-style workflow — assigning officers and moving complaints across status columns. Built backend-first with auth, file handling, and modular service boundaries.

Built JWT auth flow with role separation (citizen vs. officer), protected routes, and secure cookie strategy.
Designed normalized MySQL schema with foreign keys, UNIQUE and NOT NULL constraints, and cascading deletes.
Implemented Zod-based request validation to reject malformed input before controller logic.
