About Me

  "stack": ["Node.js", "Express", "Prisma", "Python", "React"],
  "available": true
}

I'm a full-stack developer with a strong backend focus, crafting scalable, secure applications from API design to database modeling and deployment. I thrive at the intersection of clean architecture and real-world performance.

My backend toolkit centers on Node.js + Express and Python (Django), with Prisma ORM and PostgreSQL for data. On the frontend I build dynamic, responsive UIs with React, HTML5, and CSS3. Auth flows are my specialty — I've implemented Passport.js (LocalStrategy & JWT), OAuth2, and secure session management across multiple projects.

I deploy on Vercel, Heroku, and Render, containerize with Docker, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for streamlined delivery. I'm also an open-source contributor — I contributed to the Fastify ecosystem by improving docs and fixing broken links.
