Ajinkya Thakur
Software Engineer | Full-Stack & DevOps
MCA student with hands-on experience in building, deploying, and debugging production-ready web applications using the MERN stack, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
About Me
I am an MCA final-year student with practical experience in both full-stack development and DevOps engineering.
I have worked on real-world projects involving MERN stack applications, RESTful APIs, authentication systems, database design, and payment gateway integration. Alongside development, I have designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines and deployed applications using Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and Nginx on cloud and on-prem infrastructure.
I enjoy working close to production systems — understanding applications end-to-end, debugging deployment issues, and building reliable, scalable solutions.
