I’m a developer who thrives on both the front and back end, bridging the gap between great design and solid functionality. While I have a strong eye for UI/UX, I’m just as comfortable building APIs, handling databases, and making sure everything runs smoothly under the hood. My experience includes Angular, React, TypeScript, and Flutter on the front end, along with Node.js and MongoDB on the backend. Whether it’s crafting seamless user experiences or optimizing server logic, I enjoy tackling the full stack of development challenges.
