What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can build user-focused web apps with modern frontend stacks, integrate AI/payments, mentor teammates, and grow into senior technical leadership.

I am a Front-end and Full Stack Engineer with over three years of hands-on experience building scalable, responsive, and user-focused web applications using Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, and modern deployment platforms.

I have delivered progressive web apps, integrated payment systems and AI/LLM features, and deployed projects on Vercel and Netlify, supporting 300–1,000 active users and providing financial analytics to 200+ businesses. I practice TDD/BDD with tools like Cypress and Mocha.js, and I experiment with blockchain/Web3 tools such as Hardhat, Solidity, and Web3.js.

I also have experience teaching frontend development, mentoring students and teams, optimizing UI/UX and accessibility, and continuously iterating on products based on user feedback to improve performance and adoption.
