What I'm looking for

I seek a role building real-time, user-facing web applications where I can grow technical skills, ship interactive frontends, and contribute to scalable backend systems.

I am a full-stack developer with hands-on experience building real-time web applications, interactive 3D frontends, and scalable backend services. I have delivered projects using React, Node/Express, Socket.io, MongoDB, and React Three Fiber, focusing on responsiveness, performance, and real-time features.

My work includes a chat application with JWT authentication and presence tracking, a Slack-like platform with video calling and background job processing, and interactive gamified experiences for a UNESCO hackathon. I bring strong engineering fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and a drive to build robust, user-centered products.
