Hello, World. I'm

Darpan Raiyani

//

Full-stack developer & cybersecurity enthusiast building secure, scalable digital products. MSc Data & AI student at UWTSD, Birmingham — turning ideas into production-ready platforms.

Let Me Introduce Myself

I'm a full-stack developer & freelancer based in Birmingham, UK, currently pursuing an MSc in Data & Artificial Intelligence at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

With a background in Ethical Hacking and a BCA from Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, I bridge the gap between beautiful product development and robust security practices — building platforms that are not just functional, but resilient.

From Shopify storefronts and EdTech platforms to AI-powered apps and news portals, I deliver end-to-end solutions across the full development lifecycle. I'm equally comfortable dissecting a SQL injection vector as I am architecting a microservice.
