Full-Stack Developer

About

As a highly motivated Web Developer, I possess a keen interest in coding, problem-solving, and delivering high-quality results. With prior experience in developing web applications using React and Vue.js, alongside a Node.js backend with PostgreSQL and Neo4j as a database, I am also proficient in vanilla JavaScript and TypeScript.
I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my skillset and learn new technologies.

Highlights
  • My most complex personal project to date is Erudite: a Scrabble-like mobile-friendly online multiplayer word game with up to 8 players in a room.
    During the project's lifetime, I've learned many things about development, data schema migrations, project maintenance, customer interactions, and prioritizing bug fixes and features development using GitHub.
  • Johny Flame: a 2D side-scrolling platform game I created to learn the Phaser game framework and try out how hard it would be to create a platformer on a web page.
  • RLB-stats: a pure JS frontend for podcast download analytics project written in Go. I created a web page that supports four different JS chart libraries to visualize the same data in different ways.
