};I work across the stack — React and TypeScript on the frontend, Node and MongoDB behind it. Most of what I actually know came from shipping a feature and then debugging it in production six weeks later. Slower than a tutorial. Considerably more permanent.
I came into this from a tier-3 college with no campus placements and no one in tech to ask. Free docs, free tooling and open communities are the only reason I got anywhere, so I put time back into them.
Regenerated every day by a GitHub Action. Yes, it's a real 3D render of my commit history.
I don't just attend community events — I build the websites they run on, unpaid.
| Project | What I did | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Interledger / testnet | Upgraded @headlessui/react and refactored its usage across the app |
React |
| Open Source Day | Conference site — speakers, schedule, gallery, badge generator | Astro |
| Open Source Weekend | Community portal — events, job board | Astro |
| Best Practices Summit | CXO summit site for The Hackers Meetup × ComExpo | HTML/CSS/JS |
| Hacktoberfest | Contributed every year, 3 years running | Various |
Why I build these for free →
I came from a place with no meetups, no user groups, and no seniors to ask. The Gujarat open source community — OSW, OSCF, The Hackers Meetup — was the first place that answered my questions without asking what college I went to.
I can't sponsor an event and I can't fly speakers in. What I can do is build the site. So that's what I do, and I've done it for every event I could.
📌 Things I'm figuring out right now
- React Server Components — I understand the what. Still working through the when and the why-not.
- The React Compiler — how much of my
useMemohabit it makes obsolete. - Concurrent rendering — I've read about it. I have not yet been bitten by it, which means I don't really know it.
- Testing — the honest gap. I ship, then I fix. I'd like to invert that.
