Lead Developer at Consansoft – Independent Developer Collective
May 1, 2024 - Present
Founded Consansoft, an independent developer collective focused on building a network of early-career developers to share and support each other's professional journey. I've used this platform to build full-stack web applications that simulate real-world SaaS, B2C, and messaging platforms. This initiative allowed me to deepen my experience in production-grade system design, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps workflows. All projects were developed independently and reflect end-to-end ownership—from architecture to deployment. Key Personal Projects: Convonet – Social Media Platform • Implemented real-time chat and personalised feeds using MongoDB, Socket.IO, and React. • JWT-based authentication with route-level access control via Express.js middleware. • Scalable architecture simulating modern consumer platforms. Chatcast – Messaging App • Built REST APIs, Mongoose models, and multi-user messaging flows. • Used reusable React components across login, settings, and chat UIs. • Simulated group and P2P chat using Express + WebSockets. Btechlogs – Developer Blogging Platform • Built a CMS-like system with Clerk-based RBAC and self-managed VPS deployment. • Optimistic UI updates using TanStack Query. • Tiered user permissions for contributors, editors, and admins.
