Hi!
I'm Vivek Pawar

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 6 years of experience, but my journey with technology started much earlier - and with a lot of broken remotes.

I think everyone is built differently and unique in their own way. I'm a problem solver and reward seeker at heart. The satisfaction I get from cracking a tough problem? That's my fuel. From an early age, I've been fascinated by how things work. I martyred a few TVs, a laptop, and several remotes in the process - armed with nothing but curiosity and a knife as a makeshift screwdriver.

At 13, I bought a remoteless toy monster truck from a flea market and built a two-way switch to control its motor using soda cans and a pile of AA batteries. That little victory taught me something important: with enough determination, you can make anything work.

Recently, I repurposed a 17-year-old laptop without a display into an on-premises Ubuntu server. It now runs 3 websites, several CI/CD-enabled backend container services, a Docker registry, and a cloud storage service with 200GB capacity. I believe everyone and everything deserves a second chance on this earth. I don't like throwing away what's broken - I fix it.

Currently, I work as a Senior Software Developer at BridgeNext, deployed with Mastery Logistics Systems, where I architect microservices using Apollo GraphQL Federation, build Kafka-based event-driven systems, and optimize performance across 60+ services. I specialize in React, Node.js, NestJS, TypeScript, and AWS infrastructure.

Beyond my primary role, I run a small transportation business in Bangalore, which has taught me valuable lessons about operations, customer service, and what it takes to run a sustainable business. I also take on contract work with ORO AI, developing AI-powered career platforms.

I'm driven by the intersection of technology and real-world impact - building systems that genuinely improve people's lives, whether that's optimizing logistics at scale or helping someone find their next career opportunity.

When I'm not coding, I'm exploring new technologies, mentoring junior developers, or thinking about my next entrepreneurial venture. Whether it's debugging a memory leak in production or breathing new life into old hardware, I approach every challenge the same way I did that remoteless truck: figure it out, make it work, make it better.
