Junior full stack developer building MERN SaaS products and AI integrations with real-world delivery experience.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Junior Full Stack Developer with 1+ year of hands-on experience building and deploying real-world web applications, SaaS platforms, and AI-powered integrations. I’m passionate about building production-ready products, not just tutorials, and I currently focus on ClipSpark AI—a SaaS platform for AI-driven content tools.
In my recent role as a Junior Developer, I built a WhatsApp-based automation system integrating Landbot with a Django backend using JWT authentication and webhook architecture. I also implemented REST API integrations to validate client identity and auto-create CRM leads, owning end-to-end API communication, debugging, testing, and workflow documentation.
Earlier, I developed a full-stack loan and purchase order funding platform using JavaScript, Node.js, Firebase, and the Trello API, shipping secure REST integrations and improving load times and cross-device responsiveness. Across my projects—like Interview Prep AI (MERN + OpenAI) and an Airbnb-clone accommodation booking app—I bring a product-first mindset, strong API fundamentals, and a drive to deliver usable, secure experiences.
