Full-Stack Software Engineer | MERN & TypeScript Specialist

I am a self-taught engineer who made the intentional decision to step away from the traditional university path to focus entirely on what matters most: shipping real products and building robust architecture.

I thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments (honed by my day-to-day experience managing operations and mentoring as an M3 Mentee). I bring that same grounded, collaborative, and pragmatic approach to my code. My development philosophy prioritizes production-grade, industry-standard best practices over quick fixes or hacky workarounds.

I specialize in full-stack development using the MERN stack, emphasizing modular architecture and scalable infrastructure.

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Zustand (for state management), and TanStack Query (ensuring robust, efficient data fetching over manual hooks).

• Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB/Mongoose (complex schemas & relationships).

• Infrastructure & CI/CD: Self-hosted deployment via Hetzner VPS, containerized with Docker, and managed through Coolify.

• Tooling: Git, AI-assisted development pipelines (Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode).

  

• [localhostile] An asynchronous multiplayer hacking simulator. Architected a full MERN stack application with complex game logic and split deployment. Built extensive Mongoose schemas to handle real-time state and deployed across a custom Hetzner VPS infrastructure.

• [Git Rich Quick] An incremental clicker web game. Developed and deployed a polished frontend experience using JavaScript/TypeScript, focusing on optimized state management and a clean, terminal-inspired UI.

• [QC Failed (White Poppy Studios)] Technical microblog and developer portfolio. Engineered a custom minimalist platform utilizing modern React architecture and strict type safety.

I'm always building, iterating, and exploring new ways to optimize web infrastructure.
