Hi, I'm Pavan Gupta.
Full Stack Developer.
Full Stack Developer focused on backend architecture, working across HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Payload CMS, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. I prioritize end-to-end type safety by maintaining a private NPM package that standardizes Zod validation schemas across client and server.

About Me
Backend-focused engineer, product-minded builder
My backend workflow leverages Node.js and Express, using Mongoose for MongoDB and Sequelize for PostgreSQL, with complex MongoDB aggregation pipelines and Redis as a caching layer and message broker. On the frontend I manage server state with TanStack Query and Axios, global state with Zustand, useContext, and useReducer, and form handling with React Hook Form. On the infrastructure side, I Dockerize applications and manage AWS environments — orchestrating containers on EC2, ECR, and ECS, and building serverless, event-driven systems with Lambda, SQS, SNS, Kafka, and EventBridge, secured with IAM, Cognito, and Secrets Manager.
I'm deeply passionate about building scalable applications from the ground up — turning raw ideas into fully deployed, production-ready products. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering, but found my path into software development, bringing the same structured, detail-oriented mindset to backend architecture and system design.
