Available to hire
I’m Anthony, a freelance software engineer who loves turning complex problems into clean, high-performance web and mobile apps. I enjoy collaborating with teams, shipping open-source contributions, and continuously learning new tools and techniques.
My focus is on building scalable front-end and back-end systems with React/Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. Outside of code, I enjoy sharing knowledge through talks, exploring design systems, and staying curious about how technology can improve everyday experiences.
