Hi, I'm Shantanu 👋
About
I like to say that I am a full-stack developer, but I have most experience with frontend development using React. I also have experience in development with a wide variety of frameworks like NextJS, Django, Angular, Spring, Flask, and Express. I'm a versatile programmer and can pick up and learn any framework in a short span of time. I have an interest in low-level programming and like to read in-depth about computers and networking in my free time.
I'm also proficient in languages like C, C++, Java, Python and JavaScript / TypeScript and have got a 2-star rating on Codechef (Max. 1509). I am currently learning low level programming using C.
I also have a knack for competing in Hackathons, having stood 1st 🥇 in COEP Mindspark '23, 2nd 🥇 in Codecraft 2025, 3rd 🥉 in Barclays Hack-O-Hire 2024 (and Winner from the Barclays Pune Campus) and finalist in PICT's TechFiesta '24.
