Praveen Pal

I'm Praveen Pal from India, specialize in powerful webapps and customer experience.

With over 6 years of experience in building fast, accessible, and scalable web applications, I specialize in React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript—from clean, responsive UIs to robust backend APIs and database integrations. My passion lies in delivering solutions that not only work well but feel intuitive to users.

I’ve led web projects for eCommerce platforms, SaaS tools, and funding-stage startups, balancing business needs with modern technical solutions. Whether it’s building from scratch, optimizing performance, or integrating complex systems, I focus on creating high-impact, user-centric experiences.

Beyond coding, I actively contribute to the tech community—through talks, mentorship, and content creation. I love connecting with like-minded developers, designers, and builders who care about thoughtful software.

I believe the web should be inclusive, accessible, and built with purpose. I'm driven by the idea of using technology to make life better—for individuals, for teams, and for society. If you’re working on a product that improves lives, I’d love to help make it better and more accessible to more people.

Some trivia about me

  • I’m a mix of conservative thinking and community energy—you’ll often find me at tech meetups or design jams.
  • I live for music, poetry, and deep conversations.
  • I value simplicity and minimalism in both code and life.
  • I bring long-term vision, a calm mindset, and a good sense of humor to every team I join.
“The frontend isn’t just about visuals—it’s where the entire user experience succeeds or fails. And the backend? That’s where the experience comes to life.”

Soft Skills

Certain skills I've picked along the way that deserve mentioning:

Open-source/Collaboration

As a passionate full-stack web developer, I strongly believe in the open-source ethos. Open-source projects embody the spirit of collaboration and innovation. They bring together diverse talents to create solutions that benefit the global community. I actively contribute to open-source initiatives, constantly learning and growing while sharing my expertise with others. Collaboration is not just a concept but a way of life in my development journey.

Few open source repositories I heavily contribute to:

  • almanac.httparchive.org : HTTP Archive's annual "State of the Web" report made by the web community
  • awesome-wpo : A curated list of Web Performance Optimization. Everyone can contribute here!
  • Google-Gifts : Google Gifts is a list of some interesting website of Google.
  • web.dev : Guidance to build modern web experiences that work on any browser.

Community Building

In the world of technology, community building is essential. It's about fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and inspiring one another. I'm not just a developer; I'm a community builder. I engage with like-minded individuals, organize events, and initiate discussions to create a supportive and vibrant ecosystem. Together, we shape the future of web development.

A few communities I am active in:

  • ALittleWeb.org : A nonprofit community dedicated to shaping the future of the Web

Ability to work with little supervision

One of my core strengths is the ability to work independently, with a drive to excel in every project I undertake. Whether I'm crafting responsive web designs or creating interactive user interfaces, I bring a self-starter attitude. My extensive experience has honed my skills, enabling me to work efficiently and effectively with minimal supervision. This trait ensures that I deliver results consistently, making me a reliable and self-reliant full-stack web developer.
