Hello,I am Priyankar Pal, undergraduate computer science and engineering student from India. I develop robust back-end applications using Nest.js, Express.js, TypeScript, MongoDB/PostgreSQL, Redis. Also, an open source contributor & projects maintainer at projectshut & reactplay.io. sometimes I share technical blogs on hashnode.
I am currently exploring operating systems, and system designs, focusing on continuous learning and growth.
when I was in high school, developed my first cross-platform app using Flutter & published it to Play Store. though the apps are simple, I learned new things that have inspired me a lot to work in tech.
after joining the university I developed a simple web page for a local client(an e-rickshaws store) & earned a few bucks in my freshman year. I love to paricipate in hackathons(offline/online) so that year I participated first in-person hackathon (MLH powered) with my teammates & we built a full stack project although we didn‘t win, we learned a lot from that hackathon.
