MERN Stack Developer building scalable React and Node.js applications with performance-focused APIs and real-time UX.
What I'm looking for
I’m a MERN Stack Developer who builds scalable web applications with MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js. I design RESTful APIs, integrate third-party services, and implement secure authentication/authorization using JWT and OAuth, while also focusing on data modeling, CRUD performance, and protected routes. I also create real-time experiences using WebSocket and Socket.io for live chat, notifications, and updates.
Across roles, I’ve delivered responsive, reusable frontend systems with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Redux Toolkit, and MUI/Shadcn UI patterns—then ensured smooth performance through lazy loading, memoization, and code splitting. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clean UI components (tables, modals, dashboards, pagination) and shipping end-to-end features, including SSR/routing and analytics-ready builds on Vercel and Supabase—always with SEO and Core Web Vitals in mind.
