What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a junior full-stack role where I can ship production web apps and REST APIs, collaborate closely, and build accessibility-first user experiences—while applying my Web3 and blockchain skills to real products.

I’m a Certified Software Developer and a recent graduate of UBC Continuing Education and Circuit Stream’s AI Software Development Bootcamp, where I built full-stack web applications. I focus on shipping reliable REST APIs, authentication systems, and blockchain-enabled experiences.

I build with a hands-on, execution-first mindset—whether it’s hand-coding front-end experiences or deploying production-ready applications. I’m proficient in JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, HTML, and CSS, and I bring strong problem-solving and collaboration skills to every project.

In freelance work as ChefMyKLove, I designed and delivered custom websites for independent artists—hand-coded HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no templates or frameworks. I also created interactive, revenue-driving experiences like Stripe payment integration and custom media experiences, with ongoing technical support.

As the Founder / Developer of ASMRtists (in development), I’m building a three-sided talent-agency platform using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui, and Supabase (PostgreSQL + RLS). I engineered a BSV blockchain minting pipeline and implemented automated perpetual revenue-sharing, plus integrated Printify’s fulfillment API into a centralized Shopify storefront.
