Hey there! I'm Kanishk...
As a Full Stack Developer with over a year of specialized experience in the MERN stack, I bring a proven track record of building scalable, high-performance web applications. My expertise spans both frontend and backend development, with a particular focus on React.js, Node.js, and cloud platforms including AWS and GCP.
At Vidushi Infotech, I drove significant improvements in web application performance, achieving a 30% reduction in loading times and maintaining a 98% user satisfaction rate through meticulous cross-browser compatibility testing. My commitment to accessibility and WCAG standards ensures inclusive web experiences, while my implementation of performance optimization techniques has consistently delivered measurable results.
In my recent freelance work with ZoomLocal, I demonstrated my ability to architect complex solutions by developing a Social Media Posts Aggregator that seamlessly integrated with multiple platforms. My project portfolio showcases my capability to build robust, full-stack applications, from real-time chat systems supporting 10,000+ concurrent users to secure payment processing platforms for charitable organizations.
Armed with a Master's in Computer Science from NJIT (GPA: 3.8/4.0) and expertise in modern development tools and methodologies, I specialize in:
- Building scalable applications using React.js, Node.js, and Express
- Implementing secure authentication and data handling with JWT and cloud services
- Optimizing database performance across MySQL, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL
- Streamlining development workflows through CI/CD with Jenkins and Docker
- Creating responsive, user-centric interfaces that drive engagement
I'm passionate about crafting efficient, maintainable solutions that solve real-world problems while delivering exceptional user experiences.
