I buildfull stackproducts that ship.
I'm Kunal Deshmukh — an MCA graduate from USICT, GGSIPU, building production MERN applications and competing in hackathons and competitive programming on the side.
Self-taught, project-first, and a little obsessed with shipping.
Fewer tutorials. More deployed apps.
I completed my MCA at USICT, GGSIPU and have been building the MERN stack through real projects rather than waiting on coursework — closing gaps in JS fundamentals along the way by just building.
Outside of job hunting, I spend most of my time in competitive programming and hackathons — currently building as part of Team KD_ByteBusters for the Redrob INDIA.RUNS Hackathon.
I'm currently targeting Full Stack / MERN Developer roles at service-based IT companies, with TCS NQT already cleared and applications active on Naukri and LinkedIn.

Hackathon Builder, Team KD_ByteBusters
Competing in the Redrob INDIA.RUNS Hackathon. Built a fully offline, CPU-only candidate-ranking pipeline for 100K profiles (Track 1), and currently producing content for the Social Media track across Reels, LinkedIn posts, and a long-form article.
AI-Powered Study Buddy — IBM SkillsBuild / Edunet Foundation
Built an AI study companion using Streamlit and Gemini 2.5 Flash as a capstone for the internship program, shipping it as a working app with a full presentation deck.
MCA, University School of ICT (USICT) — GGSIPU
Built a working knowledge of the MERN stack through projects, alongside coursework — with a steady focus on DSA and interview-readiness for service-based IT roles.
Things I've built and shipped.
Live, deployed, and on GitHub.
EcoTrace — Carbon Emission Tracker
A sustainability-focused MERN application that lets users log activity and visualize their estimated carbon footprint over time — full CRUD, auth, interactive dashboards and data visualization.
Bookify — Full-Stack E-Commerce Platform
A full-stack bookstore built on the MERN stack with REST APIs for inventory, user management and order processing — including search, category filtering, and a working shopping cart.
AI Study Buddy
An AI-powered study companion built for the IBM SkillsBuild / Edunet Foundation capstone — Gemini 2.5 Flash handles reasoning, Streamlit handles the interface.
