What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a full stack role where I can build and deploy web applications with React/Next.js and Node.js, work with GraphQL/REST, and contribute to production-quality infrastructure while continuing to mentor teammates.

I’m a self-taught full stack developer with hands-on experience building and deploying 14+ web applications. I focus on delivering real, usable products—fast to iterate, reliable in production, and designed for maintainability.

My work spans frontend and backend with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, PHP, and Laravel. I’m comfortable integrating GraphQL and REST APIs, and I’ve worked across multiple database systems including MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

I also manage infrastructure: I’ve supported Linux server operations and hosting through Cloudflare Tunnels, and I work with tools like Nginx, Git, and Docker. I value practical DevOps skills because they directly impact deployment speed and uptime.

I enjoy collaborating and leveling others up. I’ve mentored junior developers through workshops and one-on-one guidance while also working with clients and team leads to gather requirements and ship on schedule.
