I'm a Full Stack Engineer and Tech Lead with 6+ years of experience shipping production-grade web applications across the full stack. I have led teams, owned features end to end, and delivered for companies in Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Kosovo — as well as freelance clients across Europe and Africa. My stack covers TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, Nest.js, Next.js, Nuxt.js, React.js, Vue.js, PHP, Laravel, PostgreSQL, Docker, REST APIs, WordPress, and headless CMS. I work well in Agile teams, I communicate directly, and I take responsibility for what I build — from the first line of code to the moment it goes live. I am not someone who waits to be told what to do. I identify problems early, raise them clearly, and fix them. I have mentored developers, led code reviews, managed client relationships, and delivered under pressure — repeatedly. If you need someone senior who can lead and still build, that is exactly what I do.
