01 // Identity

Engineer who owns the whole stack

I'm Smit Nitin Chavan, a Senior Full Stack Developer based in Navi Mumbai. I work across the MERN stack, React Native and PHP — building products that carry real money and real users.

At TGLevels, a fintech-adjacent trading advisory firm, I lead a team of six and own end-to-end delivery for the CRM, the customer-facing mobile app, the admin panel and the research analyst systems — while being the sole maintainer of the legacy PHP stack during a parallel PHP → MERN migration in production.

Before that I shipped production React Native apps for funded startups (FatakPay, DealzUp, QuickTaxi) and built Node.js microservices at slashRTC for enterprise clients like NoBroker.

I also trade algorithmically — which means I read fintech requirements the way a trader does, not just the way a developer does.
