I'm Luigi Girke, a software developer who brings German precision to full-stack development. Over the past few years, I've built everything from internal email-template management systems and SMS notification platforms to WordPress sites and React web apps - working across Portugal and Canada. What sets me apart is my focus on clean, organized code that actually lasts. I don't just ship features; I build solutions that work reliably long-term. My experience spans the full stack - from React and Next.js frontends to Express backends, PostgreSQL databases, and Docker deployments on Linux. I've integrated complex systems like Zoho APIs, Windows Active Directory, and payment gateways, always prioritizing maintainability. I'm currently completing my Computer Science degree at Dalhousie University while staying hands-on with real-world projects. Whether it's e-commerce, CMS customization, or DevOps infrastructure, I approach each challenge with the same commitment: deliver error-free applications built the right way from the start.
