About Me
Hi, I'm Manasa, a dedicated software developer with a passion for crafting scalable and intuitive web applications. My expertise centers around the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js), where I excel in solving complex problems and implementing creative solutions with clean, effective code. Additionally, I have a strong background in UI/UX design, focusing on creating engaging user interfaces and ensuring smooth user experiences.
Apart from web development, I am deeply interested in system design and game development. I continuously seek new challenges that push the boundaries of my skills and expand my technical horizon. Check out my projects or get in touch—I'm always eager to connect and explore new opportunities!
