Languages I use daily to build production systems

• TypeScript

  My go-to for anything beyond simple scripts. I use it for full-stack type safety — from Next.js frontends to Node.js APIs. Types catch bugs before they reach production.

  used_in: CPCCU Portal, Code Studio apps, This portfolio

• JavaScript (ES6+)

  The foundation of everything I build. Deep understanding of closures, event loop, async/await, destructuring, modules, and prototypal inheritance.

  used_in: Every web project I've shipped

• C++

  Used primarily for competitive programming. Comfortable with STL, templates, recursion, dynamic programming, and graph algorithms. Solved 500+ problems across LeetCode and Codeforces.

  used_in: ICPC 2022–2025, Meta Hacker Cup 2023–2024

• HTML5

  Accessible, SEO-friendly markup. I use semantic elements, ARIA labels, and structured data where it matters.

  used_in: All frontend projects

• CSS3

  Modern layout techniques — Flexbox, Grid, custom properties, animations. I write modular, maintainable stylesheets before reaching for utility frameworks.

  used_in: All frontend projects

Frameworks, libraries, and UI tools for modern web interfaces

• React

  Built production apps with hooks, context, custom hooks, lazy loading, and component composition patterns. Comfortable with class components but prefer functional patterns.

  used_in: CPCCU Portal, Book Store MERN, CRUD Data Table, AI Content Humanizer

• Next.js

  My primary framework for React apps. I use App Router, Server Components, API routes, ISR, SSR, and middleware. Handles routing, data fetching, and deployment in one stack.

  used_in: Code Studio enterprise apps, This portfolio

• Tailwind CSS

  Utility-first styling for rapid UI development. I write custom theme extensions, responsive variants, and component-level utilities. Faster than writing custom CSS from scratch.

  used_in: All recent projects

• Framer Motion

  Declarative animations for React — page transitions, scroll-triggered effects, layout animations, and gesture-based interactions.

  used_in: This portfolio, CPCCU Portal

• React Router

  Client-side routing with nested routes, dynamic segments, loaders, and navigation guards.

  used_in: React Router Demo, Library Management System

Server-side logic, APIs, and application architecture

• Node.js

  Server-side JavaScript for REST APIs, real-time features, background jobs, and file processing. I use the event-driven model for non-blocking I/O.

  used_in: CPCCU Portal backend, Book Store MERN API, Code Studio apps

• Express.js

  Lightweight routing and middleware framework. I structure APIs with route modules, error handling middleware, authentication guards, and input validation.

  used_in: Book Store

• Hono.js

  Ultra-fast, lightweight web framework of Bun runtime (a native js/ts runtime) for edge runtimes and Node.js. I use it for building type-safe APIs with a Express-like feel but significantly better performance and TypeScript support.

  used_in: API prototyping, Edge functions

• REST API Design

  Designing clean, consistent RESTful APIs — proper HTTP methods, status codes, pagination, filtering, versioning, and error response formats.

  used_in: All backend projects

• EJS Templates

  Server-side HTML templating with Embedded JavaScript. I use it for dynamic page rendering, email templates, and generating markup with logic directly in the view layer.

  used_in: Server-rendered pages, Email templating

• Authentication & Authorization

  JWT-based auth, session management, OAuth flows, role-based access control, and password hashing with bcrypt.

  used_in: Book Store MERN, CRUD App MERN

Data persistence, modeling, and query optimization

• MongoDB

  NoSQL document database for flexible schemas. I use Mongoose ODM, aggregation pipelines, indexing for performance, and embedded vs. referenced document patterns.

  used_in: CPCCU Portal, Book Store MERN, CRUD App MERN

• PostgreSQL

  Relational database for structured data and complex queries. I use it when data integrity and ACID compliance matter — transactions, joins, and foreign keys.

  used_in: Code Studio enterprise apps

• MySQL

  Used at Code Studio for existing enterprise schemas. Comfortable with queries, indexing, normalization, and stored procedures.

  used_in: Code Studio apps

Deployment, CI/CD, infrastructure, and cloud services

• Git

  Version control for everything. I use feature branches, interactive rebase, cherry-pick, bisect for debugging, and conventional commit messages.

  used_in: Every project

• Docker

  Containerizing apps for consistent environments. I write Dockerfiles, docker-compose for multi-service setups, and use it to onboard new devs quickly.

  used_in: Code Studio dev environments

• Vercel

  Zero-config deployments for Next.js apps. I use preview deployments for PRs, environment variables, edge functions, and domain configuration.

  used_in: This portfolio, All Vercel-hosted projects

• Linux / CLI

  Comfortable working in terminal — bash scripting, SSH, process management, file operations, and server administration.

  used_in: All server-side work

Editors, AI assistants, and productivity workflows

• VS Code

  Primary IDE with a curated extension setup — ESLint, Prettier, GitLens, Tailwind IntelliSense, and Copilot. Custom keybindings for productivity.

  used_in: Daily driver for all development

• AI Agents

  AI-powered code editor/CLI tools for faster approaching to planning, building and solution. I used OpenCode, AGY, Codex. I use it for rapid prototyping, codebase-aware suggestions, and refactoring with natural language prompts.

  used_in: Side projects and experimentation

• Postman

  API testing and documentation. I use collections, environments, and automated test scripts for backend development.

  used_in: All API development

• Figma

  Reading design files and translating them to code. I use it to inspect spacing, colors, typography, and component structure.

  used_in: All client-facing projects

Visual thinking and user-centered interface design

• Responsive Design

  Mobile-first approach with breakpoints, fluid typography, and adaptive layouts. Every project I build works across all screen sizes.

  used_in: All web projects

• UI/UX Principles

  Understanding of visual hierarchy, contrast, spacing, affordances, and user flow. I build interfaces that are intuitive before they're beautiful.

  used_in: All projects

• Component Design Systems

  Building reusable, composable component libraries. I focus on consistent props, variants, and accessibility from the start.

  used_in: CPCCU Portal, Code Studio apps

Algorithms, data structures, and contest strategy

• Data Structures & Algorithms

  Arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs, hash maps, heaps, stacks, queues. Algorithm paradigms — divide and conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, backtracking.

  used_in: ICPC 2022–2025, Meta Hacker Cup 2023–2024, LeetCode 500+ problems

• Problem Solving

  Breaking down complex problems into smaller subproblems. Strong pattern recognition for common problem types — sliding window, two pointers, BFS/DFS, topological sort.

  used_in: Competitive programming contests

• Contest Strategy

  Time management during contests, quick prototyping, identifying easy/medium/hard problems, and knowing when to move on.
