About me

Turning ideas into
digital reality

I'm a Full Stack Developer with a mission to build outstanding web applications. My expertise spans both front-end and back-end — from pixel-perfect UIs to scalable server architecture — enabling me to bring digital ideas to life end-to-end.

I work with React, Next.js, Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, and more. I care deeply about performance, clean code, and experiences that feel effortless to use.

What I build

Full-stack capabilities,
production ready.

From landing pages to complex web applications — I build complete, production-grade products covering frontend, backend, authentication, payments, and everything in between.

Frontend Development

Pixel-perfect, responsive UIs built with React and Next.js. Smooth animations, accessible components, and fast load times across all devices.

Backend & APIs

Scalable REST and GraphQL APIs with Node.js and Express. Database design with PostgreSQL and MongoDB, Prisma ORM, and server-side logic.

Authentication & Security

Secure auth flows — JWT, session-based, OAuth providers, or custom cookie auth. Role-based access control and password hashing.

Email Integration

Transactional and marketing emails via Resend, Nodemailer, or SendGrid. Templated HTML emails for auth flows, receipts, and notifications.

Payment Gateway Integration

Secure, PCI-compliant checkout flows

I integrate enterprise and consumer-grade payment gateways into web applications — handling card tokenisation, 3DS authentication, recurring subscriptions, refunds, and webhook event processing end-to-end.

Auth Systems & Email Pipelines

From sign-up to transactional delivery

Full authentication systems covering custom credential login, OAuth (Google, GitHub), magic links, and session management — paired with automated email pipelines for verification, password resets, order confirmations, and marketing flows.
