Full‑stack JavaScript developer and hardworking problem-solver with real-world grit.
What I'm looking for
I'm a practical full‑stack JavaScript developer and dependable worker who gets things done, whether building websites or loading trucks at 5 AM. Over the past five years I've built 70+ websites and apps for international clients, contributed to popular open‑source projects, and maintained near‑perfect client ratings.
I handle everything from requirements discovery to training clients, integrate APIs, and write maintainable TypeScript/JavaScript code. My hands‑on background in construction, warehousing, and farming makes me safety‑conscious, adaptable, and excellent at teamwork under pressure.
I take pride in delivering on time across time zones, documenting and automating repetitive tasks, and supporting customers directly—skills that let me bridge technical work with practical, real‑world reliability.
