Full Stack Web Developer

Creating fast, secure, and scalable web experiences from frontend to backend.

About

I'm a full-stack web developer with a focus on building clean, responsive, and secure web applications. I've worked with modern technologies like React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS to create performant and scalable solutions. I enjoy solving real-world problems through code and constantly look for ways to improve both user experience and code quality.

I'm a fast learner, a great listener, and thrive in collaborative environments where feedback and teamwork drive better results. Whether I'm working on frontend components, backend logic, or deploying to production, I take pride in writing code that's efficient, maintainable, and impactful.
