About Me

I am a Software Engineer with several years of experience building high-quality web and mobile applications. I specialize in designing intuitive user experiences with Figma and Photoshop, and developing scalable front-end systems using React, Next.js, Redux, and Tailwind CSS. I also build reliable back-end services with Node.js and Express.js. In addition, I develop cross-platform mobile applications with React Native, delivering fast, consistent, and native-like experiences across iOS and Android. I started my career in front-end development and gradually grew into a full-stack and mobile engineer, allowing me to deliver complete, end-to-end digital products from idea to production.
