About Me

Brief Introduction

I'm a Full-Stack Developer based in Bhopal, with 1.5+ years of experience shipping production-grade features across the entire stack.

From engineering a smart coupon management system and redesigning booking flows at Wellnessta, to building AI chatbots integrated with Claude & Gemini APIs — I work across React, Next.js, Node.js, Python & Flask to solve real engineering problems that impact real users.

I've resolved 50+ production bugs, delivered 10+ user-side features, and built admin systems from scratch. Recently extending into AI-integrated development — because that's where the interesting problems are.

Currently open to full-stack or backend-heavy roles.

Full-Stack Developer

Wellnessta PVT LTD

Sep 2025 – Present

Engineered a full-stack coupon management system end-to-end — admin creation dashboard, user-side display, and checkout integration — with a smart algorithm that auto-applies the highest-value coupon (single-service or cart-value) based on selection count, improving checkout conversion and reducing coupon misapplication.
Delivered 10+ user-side features and built 4 admin management modules — Category & Subcategory CMS, Category Migration tool, Vendor Migration panel, and Spotlight Banner management — streamlining platform content operations and reducing manual effort for the ops team.
Resolved 50+ bugs across user, vendor, and admin modules — including critical invoice issues — maintaining platform stability and ensuring smooth production deployments.
Redesigned booking flow UX by introducing category-based service architecture, replacing a cluttered flat list with hierarchical navigation — improving service discoverability across user, vendor, and admin panels.
Built an AI Chatbot prototype for the platform integrating Claude & Gemini APIs — designed to automate user interactions and streamline support workflows.
