I am Kaspar L. Palgi, a senior full‑stack programmer with more than two decades of software development experience. I specialize in Svelte, TypeScript, and NodeJS, and I enjoy mobile work with Flutter and Dart. I thrive on API‑centric work, especially with GraphQL, Hasura, and Docker‑based deployments. I also bring hands‑on hardware and IoT know‑how with C++ and ESP32 (ESP-IDF). Beyond coding, I offer analysis, consultation, teaching, and strategic planning. I'm a published author on backend topics (Packt Publishing) and I'm keen to chat for 15–30 minutes about TDD, pair programming, Agile, code quality, and collaboration with your team to deliver fast, secure backend, API, and admin panel solutions. I love hands‑on collaboration and pairing with existing developers to accelerate delivery.
