What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build scalable full-stack and Next.js products, own API integrations and performance, and ship with modern CI/CD and Docker—while keeping code clean, maintainable, and collaboration-focused.

I’m a passionate Full Stack Developer focused on building modern, scalable web applications with Node.js, React, and Next.js. I specialize in responsive user interfaces, robust backend systems, and efficient RESTful API integration, with an emphasis on clean code, performance optimization, and maintainability.

In my current role at Ideas Lab, I develop and maintain full-stack web applications using Next.js, Node.js, Express.js, Flask, and TypeScript. I build React and Tailwind CSS UIs, design and integrate RESTful APIs, manage databases with MySQL/PostgreSQL, and implement CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions—deploying with Docker and VPS.

Previously, I’ve delivered fast, SEO-friendly Next.js frontend work with SSR and integrated REST APIs while improving performance and collaboration. I’ve also built scalable MERN/PERN applications with auth and real-time updates, and I’ve trained 80+ students and delivered 10+ frontend projects—bringing creativity, structure, and a team-first mindset to every build.
