What I'm looking for

I seek a role building user-focused web applications at a collaborative company that values client relationships, growth, and technical ownership.

I am a full‑stack web developer and client support specialist with hands‑on experience building responsive websites and e‑commerce features using Next.js, React, Node.js, and SQL/Firebase.

I have delivered projects including AlphaMarket (user authentication, product catalog, shopping cart, admin dashboard), integrated third‑party APIs, and optimized site performance while also supporting clients in B2B workplace environments to improve retention and satisfaction.

I hold a Bachelor of Technology in IT, a React & Next.js Developer Certification, and practical experience from internships and freelance work; I focus on clean, mobile‑first design, reliable deployments, and strong client relationships.
