About
I'm Mrugesh. I build web applications end to end.
Full-stack developer for PHP, Laravel, WordPress and React applications.
Background
I'm a full-stack developer with around six years of professional experience. Most of my work sits where server-side PHP meets modern JavaScript: Laravel and Core PHP applications, WordPress builds, Node.js services and React / Next.js front ends.
I like software that is easy to reason about — clear data models, predictable APIs and interfaces that stay fast as they grow. I'm comfortable owning a feature end to end, from the database schema to the last pixel of the UI.

Working style
Engineering principles
What you can expect when we work together.
Understand the problem first
I ask about the users, the data and the constraints before choosing tools, so the solution fits the actual need.
Boring, readable code
Clear names, small modules and predictable patterns make a codebase easier for the next developer — including future me.
Ship in small steps
Frequent, reviewable increments surface problems early and keep everyone aware of real progress.
Honest communication
I share estimates, trade-offs and blockers plainly, and I say so when something is outside what I know.
