I’m a full-stack developer and product-focused builder with 7+ years creating modern, scalable web applications. I combine strong frontend skills (React, Astro, Tailwind) with solid backend experience (Node, Express, Supabase, Python) to deliver clean, reliable, and fast user experiences. I’ve shipped end-to-end products for startups and SMBs—everything from high-performance PWAs and dashboards to custom APIs and data pipelines. I’m comfortable owning a project from concept and design through development, optimization, and deployment. Clients work with me for clear communication, fast iteration, and the ability to solve both technical and product problems.
