I'm a full-stack web developer with hands-on experience building and deploying React, Angular, and Node.js applications plus the Linux systems knowledge to take a project all the way from code to a properly secured production server. Recently, I built a real estate company's website with a headless Strapi CMS integration, so their team could update content independently without needing a developer for every change. Beyond frontend and backend work, I handle VPS setup, Nginx configuration, SSL, and server hardening (UFW, Fail2Ban), I also studied cybersecurity fundamentals (OSINT, log analysis, blue-team basics), which shapes how I build: security isn't an afterthought, it's part of the process from day one. I manage projects independently end-to-end requirements, development, deployment, and clear communication throughout and I'm equally comfortable taking on frontend-only work, full-stack builds, or server/deployment-specific projects.
