Hey, I'm Tarun — a full stack developer based in Kanpur with 18 months of production experience across MERN, Next.js, Laravel, and WordPress. Here's what I've actually built — not side projects, real things in production: I independently conceived and launched Dear Valentine, a personalised gifting SaaS built on Next.js and Supabase. Zero marketing budget. Zero paid ads. It organically reached 1,000+ users across 70+ countries through pure SEO and word-of-mouth. That taught me more about building and shipping than any course ever could. I was the sole developer on Wavo.digital — a WhatsApp and Voice AI automation startup. I built the entire product dashboard from scratch: real-time chat windows, webhook infrastructure for the Meta BSP API, template management, AI chatbot flows. Production-grade, live, used by real businesses. I rescued and completely rewrote a critically broken Laravel + React codebase for Alumnipp — an alumni platform serving 1,000+ registered users. Rebuilt the full API layer, fixed JWT auth, made the entire frontend responsive. I self-acquired a freelance client (a tattoo studio in Udaipur) through cold outreach on Google Maps — because building is only half the job. Getting work is the other half. On Topmate, I can help you with: — React, Next.js, Node.js, and full stack architecture questions — Building and deploying real projects (not just coding, but actually shipping) — Freelancing strategy — how to find clients, pitch, price, and close — Resume and portfolio review for developers at 0-2 years experience — Career roadmap if you're stuck between ₹2-6 LPA and don't know the next move I won't give you generic advice. I'll tell you exactly what I would do in your situation — because most of what I share comes from things I figured out the hard way.
