Hi, my name is
Pawan Bhandarkar.
I build for everyone
I’m a full-stack engineer specialising in building (and sometimes designing) highly accessible, human-centered applications for the web. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University
Hi there! My name is Pawan, and I’m passionate about building full-stack web applications that are not only functional but also intuitive and visually stunning.
I have 2+ years of experience working as a Full-Stack developer and recently, I’ve been diving deeper into Cloud Technology through my course work at Carnegie Mellon University. My goal is to not only write code that is clean, modular, and well-tested but to build products that are usable, performant and can scale to meet the needs of your dynamic business.
I’m always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow as a software engineer, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

TypeScript
Typescript is my preferred language for building applications for the Web, in team settings. The type system helps me catch bugs before they happen, and the language is very expressive.
