About Me
I'm a Full-Stack Developer and IT Consultant with over 4 years of hands-on experience delivering web and mobile applications across various industries.
I specialize in relevant technologies like React.js, NestJS, and WordPress, and have a strong focus on performance, scalability, and clean code.
Over the years, I've worked on everything from building full-stack applications from scratch to refactoring legacy systems and improving existing platforms to meet current standards.
I'm proficient in REST API design, component-based architecture, and development best practices to support stable, secure deployments.
My roles have also gone beyond writing code. I have advised on and managed server infrastructure, managed deployments and databases, and handled production issues under pressure.
I communicate clearly, collaborate well across disciplines, and can manage projects or contribute to technical discussions.
Whether I'm working independently or with a cross-functional team, I take ownership of outcomes and focus on delivering real, measurable value.
