Full-Stack Developer Physics Researcher

I build web products end to end and bring a research scientist's discipline to every one of them — M.Sc in Physics from NIT Calicut, hands-on with Python, Java, JavaScript, React and Django, and a habit of modelling problems before I code them.

About

From nuclear reactions
to production code.

I'm a postgraduate in Physics with a research background in nuclear and astrophysics simulation — modelling fission dynamics and charged-particle emission with tools like GEANT4 and TALYS at NIT Calicut. Somewhere along the way I fell just as hard for building things on the web.

Today I work across the stack: Python, Core & Advanced Java, JavaScript, with Django REST APIs and React on the app side, and MySQL / MongoDB underneath. I'm comfortable in Linux environments, write my own automation, and I still reach for MATLAB when a problem needs modelling before it needs a UI.

I'm looking for roles in software development, data analytics, or the semiconductor / engineering space — anywhere that rewards a research-driven approach to building things properly.

Projects

The ten-project build

A ten-repo run through core front-end fundamentals to pixel-close UI clones — each shipped as its own repo, deployed on GitHub Pages, in order of difficulty.

01 You're here

Personal Portfolio

Hub project — hero, about, skills, and this project grid linking every other build.

02 Live

E-commerce Website

Landing → listing → detail → cart → checkout, with Google login via Clerk gating checkout.

03 Live

Food Delivery App

Swiggy-style flow — restaurant listing with filters, cart, and Clerk-gated order confirmation.

04 Live

Product Landing Page

One premium product, maximum polish — display type, scroll animation, gallery and specs.

05 Live

Tap Academy Clone

Pixel-close clone of the Tap Academy homepage — navbar, hero, stats, courses, testimonials.

06 Live

College Fest Landing Page

Invented fest brand — live countdown, events grid, schedule and a sponsor logo marquee.

07 Live

Instagram Clone

Feed with gradient-ring stories bar and post cards, plus a 3-column profile grid.

08 Live

LinkedIn Clone

Classic 3-column home feed — profile card, post feed, and news panel in CSS Grid.

09 Live

Spotify Clone

Fixed sidebar, sticky bottom player and "made for you" rows, dark theme throughout.

10 Live

StreamFlux (Netflix Clone)

Full-bleed hero, horizontally scrolling poster rows, live TMDB data, and real trailers.

All ten projects are live — every card above links to its real deployed site and repo.

Beyond

Research & independent projects

The work that came before this ten-project build — simulation research and earlier applied projects.

NIT Calicut

Nuclear reactions in astrophysical regions

Simulation-based analysis of nuclear reactions relevant to stellar environments, using computational tools for modelling and data interpretation.

NIT Calicut

Charged particle emission from fissioning 251Es

Investigated nuclear fission dynamics with TALYS and GEANT4, modelling charged-particle emission and analyzing the results.

NIT Calicut

Charged particle emission in fusion-fission reactions

Analyzed emission behaviour in heavy-ion induced fusion-fission systems using computational and theoretical techniques.

Government College Kasaragod

Automatic irrigation system, Arduino UNO

Designed an automated irrigation system with real-time monitoring for efficient, optimized agricultural water use.
