About Me

I'm a full‑stack developer who enjoys translating ideas into fast, accessible, and maintainable products. I balance strong UI craft with robust backend engineering and pragmatic delivery.

Front‑End Focus

  • Modern UI Architecture: Component‑driven development with React & Tailwind, clean state separation, reusable patterns.
  • Accessibility (a11y): Semantic HTML, keyboard flows, color contrast, ARIA where needed—not by default.
  • Performance: Image optimization, code splitting, lazy hydration mindset, Lighthouse‑guided refinements.
  • Design Consistency: Token thinking (spacing, color, typography) for cohesive styling and rapid iteration.

Backend Engineering

  • API Design: RESTful services with Django & FastAPI emphasizing clarity, validation, and version readiness.
  • Data Layer: Relational modeling in PostgreSQL & MySQL with attention to indexing & query efficiency.
  • Security & Reliability: Auth flows, input sanitization, rate‑limiting concepts, structured logging.
  • Scalability Mindset: Separation of concerns, background task readiness, caching strategies.

Engineering Values

  • Maintainability: Readable code, clear naming, small focused modules.
  • Testing Mindset: Intent to grow unit/integration coverage (PyTest / Jest) around core logic.
  • Performance Budgeting: Watching bundle size & TTFB as features evolve.
  • Continuous Learning: Iterating on tooling, deployment workflows & monitoring.
