Hey, I'm Abhinav 👋I build on the web,
and I host it at home.
Full-stack developer with 8.3 years across Node, React, React Native and whatever database the moment calls for. Off-hours: a homelab that mostly stays up, a few tiny SaaS, open-source, and far too many AI wallpapers.
A quick introduction, without the fluff.
I build software for a living, and I build it for fun too. Eight years in, I still get a dopamine hit from deploying a thing that works.
Full-stack means I'll happily touch the database, the API, the UI, and the Dockerfile in the same afternoon.
Off-hours I run a small homelab, tinker with side-SaaS, generate wallpapers with diffusion models, and write about the rabbit holes I fell into.
Eight-ish years, roughly in reverse.
Titles change, stacks change. What stays: shipping, talking to humans, and keeping the codebase somebody-else-can-read.
