About Dhananjay
I’m a passionate Software Developer with a solid track record of delivering high-impact backend and full-stack solutions for startups and fast-paced teams. Over the past few years, I’ve worked across a wide range of domains including web applications, AI-powered platforms, scraping and automation services, real-time systems, and scalable SaaS products.
I specialize in Python (FastAPI, Django), JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js), PostgreSQL, and cloud-native deployments (AWS, Docker, S3, Lambda, etc.). Whether it’s building scalable APIs, optimizing performance, or architecting secure data flows, I approach each project with a product-first mindset and a bias toward execution.
Currently, I’m working on multiple freelancing and in-house SaaS projects, including:
• An AI-powered chatbot solution for schools using WhatsApp and LLMs
• A price intelligence platform using scraping and structured data
• A grant management portal (GMS) with multi-role access, document workflows, and smart validations
