About Me: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm a passionate Full Stack Developer with 6+ years of experience across modern technologies like React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Laravel, Python, Svelte, Angular, and Vue. I specialize in building scalable, secure applications with deep expertise in Maps, GeoJSON, and geospatial integrations. Alongside development, I've cultivated expertise in cybersecurity—practical knowledge in secure coding, ethical hacking, and Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT). I actively explore offensive security techniques to strengthen every product I build. I'm also deeply passionate about AI/ML technologies, working with: • Large Language Models (LLMs) - Fine-tuning and deployment • Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Building efficient AI integrations • Agentic AI Systems - Developing autonomous AI applications • AI-Powered Applications - Creating intelligent user experiences Beyond core work, I'm a committed open-source contributor, mentor at tech meetups and cybersecurity conferences. I believe in giving back to the community through knowledge sharing and meaningful project contributions.

Travel Journey & Cultural Exploration: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏔️ Covered major parts of Himachal Pradesh (Manali, Kasol, Spiti plans, Dharamshala/McLeod target) 🗺️ Explored & immersing across India: ├─ North: Delhi, Chandigarh, Himachal (multiple valleys) ├─ West: Mumbai Goa (multiple circuits), Pune, Gujarat (Ahmedabad – planned) ├─ East: Kolkata, Odisha (Puri, Bhubaneswar) ├─ Bhopal ,Madhya Pradesh(Base) / Heartland: Raipur, Ranchi (Jharkhand) ├─ Heritage & Spiritual: Vrindavan, Mathura, (Varanasi – upcoming), Ayodhya (planned) ├─ Coastal / Tropical: Goa (monsoon + peak), Kerala Backwaters (upcoming), Andaman Islands (target) ├─ Mountains Next: Kashmir Great Lakes Trek (target), Sikkim & North-East expansion (Shillong, Kaziranga vision) └─ Culture Deep-Dive: Food, local crafts, micro-habit stays & regional festivals 📍 Style: Slow travel focused on conversations with locals, lesser-known trails, regional cuisines, and mapping geo-cultural patterns that influence product thinking. 🧭 2025 Focus Map: • Complete Kashmir + Sikkim circuits • One Himalayan high-altitude trek • First North-East immersion (music, textiles, biodiversity) • Backwaters + spice route study (Kerala) • Short international scouting trip (Nepal / Sri Lanka) – soft start beyond borders Each journey deepens understanding of India's layered cultural systems and translates into better empathy-driven architecture & security threat modeling. Future Goal: After finishing core Indian geo-cultural circuits, expand into global tech hubs + historically rich regions (Japan, Nordic, Middle East) to blend distributed systems thinking with cross-cultural product perspective—building truly universal, inclusive, and resilient solutions.
