Junior Software Engineer · Differenz System

Hiral PatelI build web apps that work well in production.

I build responsive web applications with React, Next.js, MERN stack, AWS, and clean API integrations. I care about stable features, reusable components, and the details that keep features working.

Custom hook

useDebounce.js
// useDebounce.js - delays a value until input settlesimport { useState, useEffect } from "react"; export const useDebounce = (value, delay = 400) => {const [debounced, setDebounced] = useState(value); useEffect(() => {const id = setTimeout(() => setDebounced(value), delay);return () => clearTimeout(id); // cleanup on change/unmount}, [value, delay]); return debounced;};

About

I like building products that are clear, fast, and useful.

I’m a software engineer based in Surat, Gujarat, currently working at Differenz System. My work sits mostly around React, Next.js, API integration, AWS, and things like loading states, error handling, and edge cases.

Product thinking

I spend time understanding the existing flow before building, so new features fit the product instead of feeling bolted on.

Team communication

I work with mobile teams, join client calls, share task updates, and turn requirements into clear implementation steps.

How I write code

I focus on reusable React components, responsive layouts, stable API states, and code that stays easy to maintain.

How I work

A simple, repeatable way of building.

I try to understand the problem before writing code, keep changes reviewable, and leave things easier to maintain than I found them.
