I’m Eli Filiba, a full-stack developer with 15+ years of experience turning client needs into scalable, high-performance web applications. I specialize in front-end engineering with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js, and I also build reliable server-side solutions using Node.js and modern API approaches. I enjoy improving product quality end-to-end—optimizing performance and accessibility, modernizing legacy stacks, and collaborating closely with designers and back-end teams to ship polished experiences. From AWS deployments and CI/CD to clean architecture with tools like Drizzle ORM, Redux/RxJS, and testing with RTL/Jest, I focus on pragmatic engineering that delivers measurable outcomes.
