Sanchit Kalra

full stack developer, student, little nerd

I am Sanchit Kalra. I'm currently in my junior year double majoring in Math and Electrical Engineering at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus.

I mostly work with Node and Express but occasionally tip into the land of CSS and frontend development, but my real love still is backend development. I'm working on learning TailwindCSS and Typescript at the moment. I've started learning SwiftUI too and find it pretty interesting, feels quite similar to React.

I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Firebase, Express, Node, MongoDB and would love to work on any project that involves these technologies.

Also, feel free to go through my blog.
