Hi, I'm Dappu Prasad
I'm a full-stack developer working with React, Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL. Below are three applications I built and deployed end to end — a food delivery platform with live order tracking, a real-time chat app, and an e-commerce store. All three are running right now, with demo logins and source code.

};About Me
A Passionate Full Stack Developer
I studied Computer Science and later did an MBA, so I tend to think about both the code and the reason it's being built. I've been a Full Stack Developer at Solera Holdings since 2022, building scalable web applications with React, Next.js and Node.js — and I've been with the company for nine years in all, moving from client-facing support into engineering.
Outside of work I design and build my own applications end to end — the three below are deployed and running, from database schema and REST API through to the interface. I like keeping code readable, shipping things that actually work, and learning whatever a project needs along the way.

What I Build
Where I Add Value
The engineering work I take on day to day — each of these is demonstrated in the projects below, with source code you can read
REST API Design
Designing and building APIs with Express and NestJS — resource modelling, validation, error handling and versioned routes. FoodJet's API ships with generated Swagger docs you can try in the browser.
01
Database & Data Modelling
Relational schema design in PostgreSQL with Prisma — migrations, relations and seed data. Carts, orders and messages persist properly instead of living in browser state.
02
Real-time Features
WebSocket work with Socket.IO: live order tracking, chat delivery, presence and typing indicators — including reconnection handling and a polling fallback when sockets are blocked.
03
Auth & Production Deploys
JWT sessions with hashed passwords and rotating refresh tokens, then shipping it — Vercel for front ends, Render for Node services, Supabase and Neon for Postgres.
04
My Skills
The Tools I Work With
I work across the full stack — React and Next.js on the front, Node.js APIs with Express and NestJS on the back, and PostgreSQL with Prisma underneath. Everything listed below is something I have actually shipped to production in the projects on this page, not just read about.
Frontend
React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS, MUI, Zustand, Vite
Backend & Data
Node.js, NestJS, Express, REST APIs, WebSockets (Socket.IO), PostgreSQL, Prisma, MongoDB, JWT auth
Testing & Tooling
Jest, Git & GitHub, Docker, Vercel, Render, Supabase
React
Next.js
TypeScript

Some of My Best Projects
Full stack applications built end to end — database and API design, real-time WebSocket features, and polished responsive interfaces
FoodJet - Food Delivery Platform
A food delivery platform built as a TypeScript monorepo — a React SPA and a NestJS REST + WebSocket API sharing one set of domain types. Checkout sends only item ids, so the server recomputes every price and a client can never ask to be charged less. Order status is a validated state machine pushed live over Socket.IO with a polling fallback, plus guest checkout, argon2id hashing and rotating refresh tokens.
Demo login: demo@foodjet.dev / Demo@12345
TheChat - Real-time Messaging Application
A WhatsApp-style messaging app where every message, reaction and receipt is persisted and delivered live over WebSockets. One-to-one and group chats with cursor-paginated history, typing indicators, ✓✓ read receipts, reference-counted online presence, media uploads, quoted replies, 24-hour status updates and a call log — with JWT auth, light/dark themes, and an adaptive two-pane desktop layout that collapses to one on mobile.
Demo login: alice@thechat.dev / demo1234 (also bob@, carol@, demo@)
EMart - Full Stack E-commerce Platform
A full stack e-commerce platform: a Next.js storefront with product browsing, filtering, search, wishlist and a Framer Motion checkout flow, backed by an Express + Prisma REST API. The server owns products, carts and orders, with JWT authentication and bcrypt-hashed passwords — so a cart survives a logout and an order is a real database record, not local state.

Let's talk
I'm actively looking for full-stack developer roles — in Hyderabad, or remote. If you have a role in mind, send it over and I'll get back to you within a day. Happy to walk through any of the projects above and the decisions behind them.
Full-stack developer working with React, Next.js, and Node.js. Based in Hyderabad, open to new opportunities.
