Performance deep dives, architecture decisions, and things I learned building production systems.
A client needed an online store for handcrafted bangles — no Shopify, no monthly fees. I shipped a full-stack e-commerce platform with payments, inventory, branded emails, and an admin dashboard using Next.js, Supabase, and Razorpay. Total cost: one domain name.
A legacy Angular dispatcher app was burning through 10-100 million Firestore reads per session. I diagnosed the root causes, made the call to rebuild from scratch in React, and shipped a full replacement in one month — dropping the Firebase bill from $1,800 to $60.
My MCA department needed a platform to share course materials. Instead of spinning up a server and paying for storage, I used the GitHub Contents API as the entire backend. Zero hosting costs, built-in versioning, and faculty can upload directly from the browser.
