Selected Work
A few things I've designed and built end-to-end — hover to preview, click to read the full case study.
An AI-assisted platform that streamlines trucking and logistics operations end-to-end.
The problem
Trucking and logistics operations are slowed down by manual coordination — scattered data, repetitive decisions, and no smart layer to assist with day-to-day operations. Teams needed a single, intelligent platform to manage and accelerate the workflow.
The solution
TruckAst.ai is a full stack, AI-powered platform built with React, Node.js, and Supabase. It brings trucking operations into one place with real-time data, secure authentication, and an AI assistance layer that helps users move faster and make better decisions.
Architecture
React front end → Node.js API layer → Supabase (PostgreSQL, authentication, and storage) as the backend-as-a-service. Real-time data through Supabase, secure auth, and an AI layer integrated into the workflow for smart assistance.
Key features
- AI-assisted workflow for trucking & logistics operations
- Secure authentication and user management via Supabase
- Real-time data synced through the Supabase backend
- Clean, responsive React dashboard
- Node.js API layer connecting the UI, data, and AI
Results
- AI assistance reduces manual, repetitive steps in the workflow
- Real-time Supabase sync keeps the dashboard always up to date
- Secure, scalable architecture built for growth
Challenges & how I solved them
Integrating an AI layer cleanly into a real-time data workflow.
Fix — Kept the AI logic behind a dedicated Node.js API layer so the React UI stays fast while the heavy lifting happens server-side.
Handling auth, data, and real-time updates without a heavy backend.
Fix — Used Supabase for authentication, PostgreSQL data, and real-time sync — shipping faster with a secure, scalable foundation.
About
Not a fresher chasing tutorials — an engineer trusted with production systems and the business outcomes that ride on them.
I'm a Full Stack (MERN) Developer based in Rajkot, Gujarat, building dynamic, responsive web applications end-to-end — from React interfaces to Node/Express APIs and MongoDB data models. I work professionally as a MERN Stack Developer, turning ideas into clean, production-ready software.
I hold a B.E. in Information Technology (CGPA 7.95) and bring a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and computer networks to my work. I care about clean, optimised code, well-designed REST APIs, and interfaces that are genuinely pleasant to use.
“Write clean, optimised code that's easy for the next developer to read — ship dynamic experiences, keep learning, and let real users guide what gets built next.”
Career goal
Grow into a senior full stack engineer — deepening my MERN expertise, owning larger systems, and continuously adapting to new technologies to deliver better digital experiences.
Full MERN ownership
Comfortable across React, Node, Express, and MongoDB — building features end-to-end without hand-offs.
API & integration
RESTful API development and integration, plus secure authentication and clean data handling.
Clean, optimised code
Readable, efficient solutions with an eye on performance and maintainability.
Strong CS foundation
Data structures, algorithms, and computer networks underpin the way I design systems.
