About Kris Garg — Software Engineer, Chandigarh
Kris Garg is a Software Engineer and Full Stack Developer based in Chandigarh, India, currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Punjab Engineering College (CGPA 8.5). He qualified JEE Advanced with AIR 6574, which placed him among the top engineering students in India.
With a focus on building production-grade web and mobile applications, Kris works across the entire stack — from crafting responsive, accessible user interfaces in React.js and Next.js, to architecting scalable backends with Node.js, Express.js, and NestJS, to shipping cross-platform mobile apps with React Native and Expo.
His engineering career in Chandigarh has already included two paid international contracts: the Bluora D2C consumer platform — a Next.js application with frame-by-frame video sequences synced to scroll — and an MMORTS game backend for Steppe Studio, Turkey, built for massively multiplayer real-time strategy gameplay using Socket.io and Node.js.
Kris represented Punjab Engineering College at the Smart India Hackathon (SIH) at the national level, and secured 4th place at PECATHON with DormDash — an AI-powered campus food delivery app powered by Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, competing among 50+ teams.
His technical philosophy prioritises measurable performance: 75% reduced React re-renders through React DevTools profiling and memoisation, sub-100ms sync latency with Firebase Realtime Database, 95+ Lighthouse scores via SSR and lazy loading, and 99.9% uptime on DigitalOcean with Nginx + PM2.
Kris is currently open to freelance software engineering contracts and full-time roles — both remote and in Chandigarh, India. If you need a senior-capable full stack engineer who ships fast and cares about the details, reach out at krisgarg.work@gmail.com.
