Hello! My name is Shiv Shankar Dev and I love building products that live on the internet and actually get used. I'm a high-school student and self-taught full-stack engineer, originally from Bihar, India, currently based in Kota where I'm preparing for JEE and building startups in parallel.

I started by hacking together small websites and scripts, then slowly moved into full products—learning how design, engineering, and distribution fit together. Instead of just following tutorials, I've spent most of my time shipping, breaking, and improving things in public.

Right now, my main focus is SwaraConnects – a social learning network for serious students. The goal is simple: help students study together, share resources, track progress, and stay accountable—without the distractions of regular social media.

I'm building this because I understand the struggle firsthand. As a student myself, I know how isolating studying can be. SwaraConnects is my answer to that problem—a focused community where learning comes first.

Long term, I want to build world-class products from India, prove that a student from Bihar can create category-defining companies, and grow SwaraConnects into the default social layer for focused learning globally.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

• JavaScript (ES6+)
• TypeScript
• React & Next.js
• Node.js
• Tailwind CSS
• PostgreSQL & Prisma
• REST APIs & OAuth
• Framer Motion
• Git & GitHub
