Portfolio
Hi, I'm Pushpak Jaju.
Software / Full-Stack / Data Engineer
What I'm looking for
Open to full-time software, full-stack, and data engineer roles.
About me
I'm a passionate Software Engineer with hands-on experience building backend systems, scalable pipelines, and full-stack applications. Always learning and pushing toward bigger challenges, I'm motivated by turning ideas into practical, reliable solutions. Currently exploring new opportunities, sharpening my craft, and growing every day. When I'm not coding, you'll probably catch me experimenting in the kitchen, binge-watching anime, watching football(GGMU), or grinding competitive matches in Valorant.
