About

I build web apps that users love and engineers are proud to maintain. With 3 years of experience as a Frontend-first Fullstack developer, I specialize in crafting fast, accessible, and scalable UIs using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS — while holding my own on the backend with Node.js, Express, and databases like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and Firebase. At HeapTrace Technology, I've shipped production-grade applications — building reusable component systems with shadcn/ui, implementing end-to-end authentication flows (OTP, Google Sign-In), and optimizing performance across the full stack. What sets me apart: → I write clean, component-driven code that's easy to scale and easier to hand off → I move fast without breaking things — agile by habit, detail-oriented by nature → I own problems end-to-end, from UI design to API integration to database schema Tech I work with daily: React · TypeScript · JavaScript · HTML · CSS · Tailwind CSS · shadcn/ui · Node.js · Express.js · Firebase · MongoDB · PostgreSQL · REST APIs · Git Let's connect — I'm always up for a conversation about great engineering.
