Full-Stack Web Developer & IT Support Specialist
Baskar Robert — also written Robert Baskar — is an Indian full-stack web developer and IT support specialist with eight years of professional experience gained in India, Singapore and Vietnam. He graduated in Computer Science and Engineering, builds web applications with React, Python, JavaScript and MongoDB, and is currently in Japan, studying Japanese while looking for a developer role there.
About
I started in technical support at an engineering institute in India, moved into international customer support in Singapore, spent nearly two years freelancing on full-stack web applications and IT support when the pandemic began, then handled technical inquiries and first-level troubleshooting for an e-commerce platform in Vietnam, and finally led a 12-person tour operations team serving more than 4,000 customers a year.
Studying the e-commerce platform's failures from the support side is what pulled me back towards system development for good, and I have kept building personal web applications ever since. I am from India and am currently in Japan, studying Japanese at Unitas Japanese Language School until December 2026, and looking for a systems engineer or web development position here where support experience, customer perspective and code all count.
Full-stack web application work, from interface to data layer.
Nearly six years fielding technical inquiries and resolving system issues.
Team leadership and service delivery in multinational environments.
What I build
Since enrolling in language school I have kept building personal web application projects to stay sharp in React, Python, JavaScript and MongoDB. These are the kinds of systems I work on.
React interfaces backed by Python APIs and a MongoDB or SQL database, with authentication, CRUD workflows and responsive layouts that work on phones as well as desktops.
Practical internal tooling of the kind I supported for two years: order and inventory views, customer enquiry handling, and admin screens that make a system's state obvious at a glance.
Fast, accessible, search-optimised sites built in hand-written HTML and CSS — including this one, which runs as static files with structured data, sitemap and a Lighthouse-friendly footprint.
Code and work in progress live on GitHub.
