What I'm looking for

I want to build scalable, high-performance web platforms that improve operational efficiency and drive business growth—using modern React/Node stacks, clean UX, and reliable backend systems that can handle real-world traffic.

I’m a results-driven Full Stack Developer architecting scalable digital solutions that turn complex business needs into robust, user-centric applications. I’m especially focused on high-performance systems, from booking engines to interactive sports platforms.

Recently, I’ve led end-to-end development for LigiOpen, building a React.js/Next.js frontend for real-time match statistics and a backend with Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL for high-traffic data and league scheduling. I’ve also led technical delivery of a digital streaming platform (WOW Reloaded) by deploying Node.js/Express.js services on AWS, and I’ve supported infrastructure and security with Sophos firewall management during my IT internship.
