Hi, I’m Amjed Nazzal, a self-taught frontend developer with 5+ years of experience building production web applications with React and Next.js. I gravitate toward keeping things lean—reaching for extra libraries only when they genuinely earn their place, and when I do bring one in, I tend to dig into the source to understand how to use it well rather than just following the docs. I’ve worked as the sole frontend developer on a live service platform, which meant owning architecture decisions, untangling a legacy codebase, and shipping reliable features without a safety net. I’m strong on auth systems (OAuth, JWT, refresh token flows), WebSockets, SSR/CSR strategy, and performance—took a platform from a Lighthouse score of ~40 to ~90.
