About

I have 9 years of experience working in web development, as a full stack developer. Currently, I work with a cross-functional team, building web applications that are helping clients achieve more from their expectations! I'm deeply passionate about creating websites that help people or companies navigate their careers and achieve their career goals.

And I left Infosys, to continue my work as a full stack developer in other companies. If you catch me outside of work, I'm a passionate poet and also an beginner rapper - running an YouTube channel also - and an avid lover of football and cricket! I also like meeting new people over a cup of coffee. Feel free to reach me out at gokulfreelancing@gmail.com or DM on Twitter @realgmk_ . Competencies: Angular, NodeJS, React, Express, Typescript, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, MongoDB and AWS.
