Full Stack Software Engineer | React.js, Node.js, REST APIs & Microservices | Building High-Performance Web Apps & UI/UX | AI-Assisted Development

About

Building seamless web applications is more than just writing code for me—it’s about solving real-world problems through clean UI, optimal performance, and thoughtful user experience. With an MSc in Web Development (Graduated with Merit) and hands-on experience across the full JavaScript stack, I specialize in transforming complex ideas into responsive, scalable digital products. My technical foundations span React.js, Node.js, Express, and both SQL/NoSQL databases. Whether engineering secure REST APIs with strict schema validation for e-commerce platforms or architecting dynamic media discovery apps, I focus on clean component hierarchy and maintainable architecture. What sets me apart is my dual background in software development and high-pressure operations management. Having trained teams and managed fast-paced environments, I bring strong communication, leadership, and crisis-management skills to engineering teams. I approach code with the same mindset I brought to operations: optimizing workflows, reducing bottlenecks, and focusing on the end-user. 💻 Key Focus Areas & Core Strengths: 🎨 Frontend: React.js | JavaScript (ES6+) | HTML5 | CSS3 | Responsive Design ⚙️ Backend & APIs: Node.js | Express.js | RESTful API Design | Microservice Concepts 🗄️ Databases: MySQL (Query Optimization) | MongoDB | Firebase 🛠️ Developer Tools: Git | GitHub | AI-Assisted Development (GitHub Copilot, OpenAI API) 🤝 Soft Skills: Cross-functional Collaboration | Agile/Scrum | Team Training & Operations 🎯 Let's Connect Currently open to Front-End and Full-Stack opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful web products and collaborate with passionate engineering teams.
