Backend bugs fear me. Frontend bugs know me personally.

I’m a MERN stack developer who enjoys building real-world applications, solving problems, contributing to Open Source, and occasionally questioning my entire codebase after one missing semicolon.

Started coding with:

“Why is this not working?”

Now slowly evolving into:

“Okay... I know where it’s not working.” 😌

Spent around 5 months working on MERN stack applications, fixing bugs, improving features, debugging APIs, and discovering that:

fixing one bug usually unlocks three new side quests.

Worked with:

• React.js
• Node.js
• Express.js
• MongoDB
• REST APIs
• Frontend/backend integration
• UI fixes & feature enhancements

That internship transformed my:

“WHY IS THIS ERROR HAPPENING?!”

into:

“Okay... let me check the logs first.”

Let’s build something cool 🚀

My code works perfectly…

until someone stands behind me and says:

“Bro, run it once.”
