Software
Developer

I build polished web experiences with thoughtful engineering underneath. My strongest edge is analytical thinking — I bring that into frontend detail, backend structure, and shipping work with discipline.

About

Thinking,
polish & delivery

I approach software with a balanced engineering mindset: think carefully, build cleanly, and finish with discipline. I care about structure underneath, but I also care about the interface people actually experience.

My work sits between technical clarity, visual polish, and dependable delivery. Whether it's a frontend interaction, a backend service, or a real-time system — I want it to hold together properly.

What stands out

Problem solving, disciplined execution, attention to detail, and a habit of thinking carefully before committing to a build.

Preferred work

Full-stack web products that combine premium frontend presentation with clear backend logic, scalable data models, and real-time product behavior.

Projects

Two flagship builds,
two product stories

Each case study presents the project as an engineered product snapshot — role clarity, stack decisions, interface evidence, and the systems thinking behind the build.

Snapshot

Discovery, marketplace, real-time chat, and AI support — inside one platform.

01 — Flagship project

Flagship project / Bookera

A book discovery platform with marketplace, chat, AI, and real-time account features

Bookera is the clearest proof of my full-stack range. I led a four-person team and helped shape a product that blends public Open Library data with private account-based features such as auth, marketplace activity, saved items, real-time chat, notifications, and AI assistance.

Role

Team lead / full-stack contributor

Team

4 people

Focus

Marketplace, auth, AI, realtime

  • Led a four-person team building a two-part platform that combines Open Library discovery with an account-based marketplace ecosystem.
  • Implemented flows around authentication, saved items, notifications, AI assistance, Stripe checkout, and real-time chat.
  • Showcased practical full-stack architecture using Next.js, Express, MySQL, Sequelize, Socket.IO, and API separation between public and private data.

02 — Realtime project

Realtime project / Quiz Duel

A multiplayer quiz experience coordinated across REST, rooms, and live game state

Quiz Duel highlights my interest in product flow and real-time interaction. It combines gameplay, matchmaking, room logic, session handling, and a sharp visual direction into one focused full-stack build.

Role
