I'm Bhargav, a curious full-stack developer (MERN). I take interest in JavaScript and the eco-system around it.
I started my learning journey from the front-end picking up fundamentals of the web - HTML, CSS and Vanilla Javascript. Following this I progressed to learn ReactJs and in doing so internalized the concept of thinking in components. At this point I started applying and building multiple projects, simultaneously exploring libraries and frameworks like Material UI, Swiper JS and Bootstrap to elevate my projects. Moving forward from here, I felt the need to go beyond the browser, so I started to look at the server side of things. I picked up NodeJs, which I figured was the runtime when it came to running JS outside of the browser. Among other modules, the http module seemed like the next important link in my journey. So I explored that and while doing so got introduced to Express. I saw the simplicity Express offered mostly in terms of routing among other methods. Soon I was running servers, implementing CRUD operations using Restful API and the HTTP protocol, validating url parameters using frameworks like JOI and was having a great time seeing things connect. But all of these operations were performed on array and object data structures that I defined in the server's code. I felt the need for a proper storage mechanism, a database, which played well with the JS ecosystem. MongoDB seemed apt. So I learnt to construct CRUD commands using the command prompt and slowly progressed to integrating it with the server code I have been writing in NodeJs using the Mongoose ODM.
Beyond NoSQL databases, I also have experience in SQL - DDL, DQL, DML and in creating Stored Procedures in MariaDB as part of my present job role. I also have experience in Cloud based development platforms like Appian and Dev-ops platforms like Azure.
