Full Stack Developer
Aangan
Role context
After my internship, I continued as a Full Stack Developer and became more involved in production work. I worked on both the frontend and backend, helped improve the admin panel, optimized performance, fixed production issues, and participated in deploying updates. The role gave me a much better understanding of how real applications are maintained after they go live.
Primary challenge
The biggest challenge was improving performance without changing how the website worked for users. Blog pages were loading slowly because of large images and repeated API requests. I redesigned the fetching flow, introduced browser-side caching, optimized image delivery, and tested changes across different devices to make sure the improvements were consistent.
