Full-Stack Engineer
Open to ContractOpen to FreelanceOpen to Full-timeOpen to ContractI build fast, scalable, and user-focused products. My primary stack is Flutter and Nest.js (Node.js), with a focus on crafting cross-platform mobile experiences and reliable backend systems.
I enjoy turning complex ideas into simple, maintainable solutions - from APIs and data architecture to polished interfaces and the details users actually notice. I care about performance, security, accessibility, and building products that feel effortless to use.
Beyond my core stack, I build with Next.js, Angular, Swift, Kotlin, and SEO when the project demands it. I'm also currently learning Rust, exploring its approach to performance, safety, and systems programming.
I believe good software sits at the intersection of great engineering and great user experience.
