Full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript developer building production web apps from architecture to deployment.
What I'm looking for
I’m a full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript developer with a state-certified qualification (RNCP) and hands-on experience across the full technical stack—from architecture to production deployment. I’m comfortable working autonomously, async-first, and across distributed teams, and I’m open to on-site, hybrid, or remote roles across Europe.
I shipped a production application, Questmaker2, using Next.js 16 (App Router) + TypeScript with PostgreSQL (Neon), deployed on Vercel. I built a D&D-style productivity RPG with a rules-engine decision system, turn-based combat, and state recovery via pre-combat snapshots, plus security-focused authentication using HTTP-only cookies, CSRF validation, server-side input validation middleware, and database-level rate limiting.
I also contribute to open source: I integrated an academic neuroscience solution into a published Python package on PyPI and documented it on ReadTheDocs. Working with large 3D brain mesh data, I solved a structural occlusion problem using tools like VTK/PyVista/NumPy, and delivered a reusable function (vis_merged_flat()) with automated orientation and labeled outputs.
