Hola! I'm Gagan
I'm a Full Stack Developer with 1.5+ years of experience, building scalable and high-performance web applications using Django, DRF, GoLang and AWS. I enjoy solving complex problems, designing reliable systems, and building customer-focused solutions that perform well at scale.
Currently exploring Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to expand my engineering toolkit and build smarter applications.
My mission? To teach machines how to appreciate a good cup of coffee and tell me jokes! When I'm not coding or debugging, you can find me in a coffee shop ☕, sipping on a latte and pondering life's mysteries.
