Markdown: The text-markup beast.
Markdown, a lightweight markup language that is used to add formatting into your text files followed by the syntax '.md'. Below is the cheatsheet.
Full-stack software engineer with 2.5 years of experience building reliable, scalable web apps using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. I enjoy creating clean, reusable UI components, integrating APIs, and improving performance through web vitals, code-splitting, and smart bundling. I regularly use Claude, GPT, Cursor AI, and custom automation workflows to speed up development and solve problems faster. I’ve also worked with AI agents, LLMs to simplify workflows and make features more intuitive for users. Above all, I care about writing maintainable code, collaborating well with teams, and designing systems that stay fast, stable, and easy to scale.
