About Me

My passion lies in full-stack development, building complete, end-to-end applications. My technical toolkit is centered around modern JavaScript and cloud infrastructure.

On the frontend, I use React and Next.js with TypeScript to build fast, scalable, and type-safe web applications. I also have experience extending this knowledge to mobile development using React Native.

For the backend, I am proficient in creating robust and efficient REST APIs with Node.js and Express. I'm comfortable connecting to both NoSQL databases like MongoDB and relational databases like PostgreSQL, choosing the right tool for the job.

To complete the development lifecycle, I have hands-on experience with DevOps principles, using Docker for containerization and deploying applications on AWS.
