Full Stack Developer Specializing in MEAN & MERN

JavaScript evolves faster than anything. One minute you’re writing clean code in Angular, and next thing you know, React’s got a new hook that changes everything. That’s pretty much been my world the last few years, working across the MEAN and MERN stacks, building things that actually work (and hopefully don’t break on Fridays). I’ve spent a good amount of time working on everything from fast-moving startup apps to more structured, enterprise-level projects. React, Node.js, MongoDB, Express—these are kind of like old friends at this point. I’ve also played around with Angular quite a bit. I enjoy the whole process—from spinning up the backend APIs to crafting frontends that people actually enjoy using. I’ve deployed apps on AWS, DigitalOcean, used Docker when it made sense (and sometimes when it didn’t), and set up CI/CD pipelines that helped save time. Also, I've dealt with things like payment gateway integration, user authentication, analytics tracking, and all the little backend chores that no one really sees but are super important. What I’ve learned is: no two projects are ever the same. Some are slow burns, some are mad sprints. Some clients know exactly what they want, others figure it out as we go. I’ve learned to roll with both. I ask questions, I listen, and I try to bring a bit of clarity and calm to the usual chaos of software development.
