A little about me.
I’m a software developer with a full-stack background. I build, test and maintain web applications, working across frontend and backend — from new features to production releases.
I enjoy understanding how systems work, solving practical problems and learning new tools. Clear communication, thoughtful code reviews and taking responsibility are central to how I work.

Freedom Combination

As a volunteer full-stack developer, I worked in a team of volunteers on the Freedom Combination platform. I contributed to the application from the start, working on both frontend and backend. We used React, Next.js, TypeScript and Chakra UI for the frontend, and Node.js, Strapi and PostgreSQL for the backend, within a Turborepo monorepo. The project deepened my practical experience with React and Next.js and with building a complete web application as a team.
