FULL-STACK ENGINEER

©2026

/BUILDING NOW

Hey!

I’m Rajan, an engineer based in Elgin, IL, building high-quality full-stack applications.

I'm an engineer building modern, production-ready applications using TypeScript, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Python, and FastAPI — architecting and deploying my own infrastructure (PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Docker, Railway), with Supabase as a fast, managed option when a project calls for it. I develop full-stack applications end to end: frontend, backend APIs, authentication, database design, deployment, and automated test coverage — while focusing on performance, scalability, and clean architecture. I leverage Claude Code and AI-driven workflows to accelerate development, shipping out-of-the-box applications and services that users can start using right away.
