Full-Stack Developer

I'm Nirajan Shah.
I build things for the web.

A developer based in Calgary who enjoys working across the full stack. I like building clean, functional applications and I'm always looking to learn something new along the way.

About

A bit about me

I studied Applied Computer Science at the University of Winnipeg and have been working as a developer since. My experience so far has been mostly with JavaScript, React, Next.js on the frontend and Node.js with PostgreSQL and MongoDB on the backend.

At KSVA Tech Solutions, I got to work on production applications, build APIs, set up CI/CD pipelines, and integrate tools like Google OAuth and OpenAI's API. I learn fast, and I care about writing code that's easy to read and maintain.
