I am Kuldeep Lakhera, a Computer Engineering student at VPKBIET (CGPA: 9.1/10) with a focused passion for engineering production-grade software.
My hands-on experience includes developing full-stack features for startup products at Insite Arc and Nexoraa Tech. I’ve worked closely with clients to translate real business requirements into dependable RESTful APIs, optimized MongoDB schemas, and responsive web UIs.
Beyond code, I serve as Tech Lead for both CESA (Computer Engineering Students Association) and E-Cell, where I lead development on a resource platform serving 200+ active student users and conduct peer workshops on Git and agile practices.
