Hi, I'm Naresh Lokhande

I start by understanding the actual business workflow, not just the screens or APIs. Before writing code, I identify core entities, user roles, edge cases, and failure paths so the solution matches real usage instead of assumptions.

I use Next.js with SSR where initial load, SEO, or authenticated data matters. I focus on predictable state, clean separation between UI and data-fetching, and avoiding common SSR pitfalls like hydration mismatches and navigation data loss.

I design backend services around clear responsibilities and stable contracts. APIs are validated at boundaries, errors are consistent, and logic is kept modular so features can evolve without tightly coupling frontend and backend changes.

I treat database schema as versioned code, not a one-time setup. I use Liquibase to manage migrations across environments, prevent schema drift, and ensure database changes are traceable, repeatable, and safe to deploy.

I design authentication and authorization early, especially for role-based systems. I pay close attention to session expiry, token handling, and access control to avoid security gaps that usually surface late in production.

I assume requirements will change. I try to build systems where new roles, workflows, or integrations can be added with minimal refactoring by keeping logic extensible and avoiding hard-coded assumptions.
