Skills & Technologies
Frontend Skills
With over 9+ years of experience in frontend development, I know how to write clean, maintainable, and scalable code. Working with me means your project will always stay in top shape. I specialize in creating fast, responsive, and accessible user interfaces, using modern frameworks like Angular, React. I pay close attention to performance, usability, and long-term maintainability.
Backend Skills
Strong backend skills to power your frontend. While frontend is my main stack, I build robust backends using Node.js or Python — with FastAPI for lean setups and Django for scalable platforms. Fluent in database design with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. From APIs to auth systems — I deliver clean, reliable, production-ready backends that works as it must be.
Other Skills
Comprehensive project delivery and DevOps support. Whether it’s setting up ESLint, writing tests, or deploying your entire project, I take care of it. I can configure GitLab on your server to securely host your projects, set up automated CI/CD pipelines, and manage containerization for multiple apps or services. Plus, I integrate Google Analytics to help you track and grow your audience.
