Summary

I’m a full stack developer who turns a strong passion for technology into a new career. I’ve built experience with React.js, React Native, Redux, and modern JavaScript (ES6+) on the frontend, and Node.js, Express.js, and RESTful APIs on the backend. I work confidently with PostgreSQL for database management, Git/GitHub for version control, and deployment platforms like Render and Netlify. My background also includes UI/UX design, with a focus on user-centred design, wireframing, and prototyping. Having managed projects end-to-end and collaborated across teams in agile environments, I bring strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail to every project, always aiming to deliver clean, high-quality solutions.
