Full-Stack Developer - Est. 2022

Interfaces
with a pulse.

As a seasoned Full-Stack Developer, I build scalable applications with a focus on performance and clean architecture. I recently designed and shipped Portify, a full-stack SaaS portfolio builder and job board (React, TypeScript, Next.js, NestJS) that I grew to ~1000 users as the sole developer, owning UI, API, and deployment end-to-end. I'm confident translating design specifications into reusable UI components and improving existing codebases, which maps directly to customizing Shopify themes and integrating third-party services. I'm looking for a collaborative role with continuous learning and a focus on high-quality frontend solutions, like optimizing storefront performance and implementing custom checkout extensions.
