👋 Hi, I'm Chinmaya Samantara!

A passionate Backend Developer learning by building real-world projects with TypeScript and JavaScript. I like understanding how things work under the hood, so I build them from scratch. My goal is to build scalable and reliable applications.

🏗️ Key Projects

⚡ n8n Clone (Workflow Automation) · in progress

A workflow automation tool inspired by n8n, built from scratch in TypeScript.

• Workflow Engine: Runs connected nodes in order (trigger → HTTP request → set), passing each node's output to the next.
• REST API: Built with Elysia, with request validation using arktype.
• Database: PostgreSQL (Neon) with Drizzle ORM schemas and migrations for users, workflows, credentials and executions.
• Coming next: Job queue with Redis + BullMQ, webhook and cron triggers, auth with better-auth, and a drag-and-drop editor with React Flow.
