Hello, I'm Lakshmanan. I'm a software engineer with 7+ years of experience. I enjoy building scalable web applications.
About me
After graduating with a degree in Mechanical engineering, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. Rather than enrolling into any bootcamps or such I learned full-stack web development on my own will through open source documents and youtube content.
My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. My core stack is React, TypeScript, Node.js, and FastAPI, and I work with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud infrastructure on AWS. I am passionate about building efficient, sustainable software and always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
