I’m a Full Stack Developer with over two years of hands-on experience building personal portfolio projects using React, TypeScript, Next.js, Redux, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. I focus on building clean, responsive interfaces that connect to real backend services and databases, and I care a lot about code that’s readable, maintainable, and easy to work with. Most of my experience comes from independently designing and building complete applications, including an AI-powered fitness app, a full e-commerce platform, and a gamified productivity app. Across these projects, I’ve worked on front-end UI, backend APIs, authentication, databases, debugging, and deployment - the full process from idea to a working product. I also use tools like GitHub Copilot as part of my workflow to support problem-solving and maintain code quality. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my full-stack foundation, strong follow-through, and willingness to learn into a professional engineering team. I work well independently, communicate clearly, and I’m comfortable taking feedback and making improvements.
