JOURNEY

Experience & Journey

How I grew from networks and support tickets into owning full product lifecycles—architecture, UI, and the shipping discipline in between.

Work experience and education

At a glance

  • Frontend-focused engineer shipping production web: React, Next.js, Astro, and SvelteKit—stepping into Node/Express/Prisma when products need it.

  • Comfortable owning the stack from Figma and sprint planning through VPS, Docker, Nginx, Cloudflare, and Vercel—and using AI-assisted workflows (Cursor, MCP, design-to-code) without cutting corners on quality.
