About me

Full Stack Developer who ships from database to UI

I design and build complete products — clean domain models, secure APIs, and fast interfaces. On the backend I work with Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security, JPA/Hibernate, and Node.js with Express. On the frontend I build with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.

I care about maintainable code, good test coverage, and deployments that just work — using Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud hosting to take ideas from a whiteboard to production.

Work Process

How I take an idea to production

A clear, repeatable process keeps projects predictable — from designing the API and database to shipping a tested, containerised release.

Every step is backed by version control, code reviews and automated pipelines, so features land quickly without breaking what already works.

01

Plan

Understand the requirements, define the data model and API contracts before writing code.

02

Build APIs

Develop secure, tested REST services with Spring Boot or Node.js and a well-structured database.

03

Build UI

Craft responsive, accessible interfaces in React and Next.js wired to the APIs.

04

Ship

Containerise with Docker, automate with CI/CD, deploy, monitor and iterate.

Tech Stack

Tools I use to build full stack apps
