I started developing my first real projects in 2019 when I enrolled in a diploma program in Computer Engineering. My journey into tech started way earlier though—tinkering with basic C programs and creating static web pages using HTML and CSS in school. As I explored further, I was drawn to how apps work, how people collaborate online, and how code turns into real solutions.

What really sparked things for me was discovering Flutter. The idea of building beautiful apps for Android and iOS from a single codebase blew my mind. From there, I dove deep into Dart, Firebase, and mobile development frameworks. I started creating mini-projects and contributing to community events.

By the time I was in my second year of engineering, I had already published multiple apps, led workshops, and joined Google Developer Student Clubs as a Flutter Lead. I loved mentoring people, helping juniors grasp layouts, state management, and best practices in app architecture.

My Beginnings in Programming 🖥️

In college, I took part in coding competitions and hackathons while also building full-stack projects with PHP, MySQL, and later, Supabase. I experimented with web hosting, APIs, auth systems, and gradually developed an interest in real-time systems.

That led to my most exciting personal project—Synapse, a collaborative learning platform built with Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and LiveKit. It’s a place for students to create rooms, chat, join video calls, and share resources. I built it to reflect what I wished I had when studying in groups.

My Professional Experience 💼

In late 2023, I interned at ERK Labs, where I worked on CRM optimization, performance profiling, and reusable UI packages. By January 2024, I was hired full-time and led the development of a social-media-style hiring app with live features and a gRPC-powered backend.

In September 2024, I moved to MSA Software, working on enterprise-level Flutter applications and building mobile-first solutions for internal operations. From architecture to code reviews, I’ve had a chance to lead and grow with every sprint.

The Power of Community 🌍

Outside of work, I love sharing. I’ve conducted multiple Flutter sessions, guided juniors on how to build and deploy apps, and even helped launch final-year projects for college students. I actively post on LinkedIn, maintain projects on GitHub, and keep building in public.

I believe learning never stops. I keep experimenting with Supabase Edge Functions, TailwindCSS, and even dipping my toes into AI integrations to explore what’s next.

A Bit More About Me ☕

In 2025, I’m focused on scaling Synapse further, giving more talks, and launching micro-tools that help students, developers, and self-learners. I love strong coffee ☕, clear UIs 🎨, and open-source thinking 🧠. You’ll often find me planning side-projects, mentoring a friend, or watching conference replays on 2x speed.

I’m Anuj Barve, and I thank you for being a part of this journey.

Let’s build something awesome! 🚀
