Gagan Hegde

I’m a full‑stack Web Developer who builds resilient, user‑friendly applications with React and Node.js; I interned at Samsung R&D Institute (Bengaluru), where I implemented 25+ pixel‑perfect responsive React UI screens, created reusable component libraries, and integrated REST APIs while working in agile teams. I design reliable backends and production tooling—examples include a self‑healing Node.js architecture with PM2 and Docker Compose plus a custom circuit breaker and 20+ chaos tests to validate resilience. On the AI and product side I built Progress‑AI: a React frontend (25+ components, 15+ pages) and an Express/MongoDB backend with JWT auth, secure media handling, Gemini AI integration, and APIs that generate personalized learning plans. I also led Parisar‑Netra, an IoT + AI campus intelligence platform that simulates energy consumption and visualizes real‑time dashboards projecting up to 20% energy savings and ~15% carbon reduction. I won First Prize at Citizen Event 2026 for Parisar‑Netra and hold an OOP certification; I bring strong Git + agile practices, attention to UI/UX fidelity, and a focus on reusable, maintainable code.
