Hi 👋

I'm Shivam Barkule, a Full-Stack Engineer obsessed with building systems that survive real-world chaos.

"Software should impress users, not intimidate teammates."

I don't believe in "rockstar" culture. I believe in systems that:

• Have clear ownership
• Can be modified by others
• Don't cause production nightmares
• Scale without rewriting
• Survive their original author leaving

1. Every line of code is a liability — It must earn its existence through value delivered
2. Simplicity scales — Complex code breaks when reality hits
3. Team > Individual — Code is read 10x more than written
4. Production is sacred — Reliability is non-negotiable
5. Metrics don't lie — Data-driven decisions trump gut feelings

  constraints: "documented & understood"
};

// Phase 2: Simple Design
const architecture = {
  modular: true,

  maintainable: true,
  overEngineered: false
};

// Phase 3: Write Code
const code = {

✅ KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid
✅ DRY - Don't Repeat Yourself
✅ SOLID - Single Responsibility, etc.
✅ Clean Code - Meaningful names & small functions
✅ Tested - Code that breaks with confidence
