About

React and Node.js developer with full-stack experience and a background in web security. I build production-ready applications, from Figma-to-code UI components through to REST APIs, authentication, and real-time features.
I’ve shipped mobile apps to the App Store and Google Play, built automated workflows with UiPath, and written code with security built in from the start.
Currently working full-stack on a live platform while completing professional courses in cybersecurity, AI and RPA.

UiPath automation that converts PDF and PowerPoint lecture files into structured study materials. Extracts text, translates to English via Azure Translator, then reformats using Google Gemini 2.5 Flash into one of three outputs: plain text, a styled HTML file with color-coded headings, or an Anki-compatible CSV of AI-generated flashcards for active recall. Supports batch processing across an entire folder in one run. All API keys stored encrypted in UiPath Orchestrator Assets — never hardcoded. Built as a productivity tool during active coursework.

Unattended RPA automation for hotel night-shift operations built with UiPath and the MEWS PMS. Runs on a scheduled overnight cycle, generating four operational reports (arrivals, security, room status, departures) as PDFs at precise times — saving up to 120 hours of manual work per year. Includes a DIR room check that cross-references dirty rooms against the live guest list and emails alerts on discrepancies. A concurrent checkout monitor polls MEWS every 10 minutes and sends real-time SMS via Twilio to housekeeping on each new checkout. Credentials stored encrypted in Orchestrator Assets.

Building and maintaining a full-stack platform features for a global student community. The work spans React.js UI components built from the ground up based on Figma designs, through to Node.js/Express.js REST APIs. Implemented real-time communication with Socket.io, secure JWT authentication, and cloud media storage with AWS S3 and Cloudinary. MongoDB serves as the primary database, with input validation handled through Zod and Joi. Test coverage is integrated throughout development to ensure reliability as the platform scales. Next up: a dedicated mobile version, extending the platform's reach to Android and iOS. Project details are confidential. Happy to discuss scope, technical decisions, and architecture in an interview. illustrator
