Full-stack software engineer focused on scalable React/Node applications.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building responsive, scalable web applications. I focus on creating seamless user experiences while optimizing system performance, from intuitive UI design to robust backend APIs.
As Co-Founder & CTO at BorrowXchange, I led end-to-end development of a MERN-based lending and barter platform, delivering an MVP from concept to deployment. I built responsive React interfaces for listings, dashboards, and product pages using React and Tailwind CSS, and developed RESTful APIs with Node.js and Express to power core user interactions.
I designed and integrated MongoDB data models for users, items, and transactions, and implemented authentication and authorization flows to secure user access. I also structured the application with modular architecture and reusable components to support scalability.
Previously, I contributed as a Frontend Developer (Team Member) at Jensen Decors, helping ship a production e-commerce/portfolio platform deployed on Vercel. I build reusable React.js components, optimize site performance, and deliver polished UI within tight sprint deadlines, and I also teach HTML/CSS/JavaScript as a Web Design Coach.
