I am Anup Haldar, a full stack developer in Uttarakhand, India. I have been building web applications for the past three years, mainly with TypeScript, React, Next.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL. Outside of work, I build and ship side projects like Ridenomics and Free Text Cleaner. This site is where I share what I build, learn, and work on along the way.
