Hey, I'm Darshan Tandel

I build scalable React.js and Next.js applications, full-stack systems with PHP, MySQL and ASP.NET Core, and — lately — local AI tools with RAG and LLMs.

About

Frontend-first, full-stack in practice

I'm a frontend developer with professional experience building scalable React.js and Next.js applications, alongside full-stack development using PHP, MySQL, WordPress custom plugins and themes, and ASP.NET Core.

At Wappzo Infotech I progressed from intern to Associate Software Engineer, architecting REST APIs, multilingual systems, and authentication workflows — including a from-scratch English/Hindi translation engine (the same one powering the animation in the hero).

I'm currently expanding into AI, Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and LLM integration, with hands-on experience running local models and building automated data pipelines.
