Top Rated Full-Stack Developer with a 100% Job Success Score. I build production-grade web apps, cross-platform mobile apps, and AI-powered tools that ship to real users, not just demos that die in staging. Where I help clients most: → Full-stack web apps — React, Next.js, Node.js/NestJS, Django, FastAPI. From dashboard-heavy SaaS to customer-facing storefronts and internal tools. → AI integration — RAG pipelines, context-aware chatbots, and LLM workflows that actually work in production. I've integrated OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and local open-source models. Vector stores: Pinecone, Qdrant, Weaviate, Supabase Vector, pgvector. → Automation & bots — Telegram bots, web scrapers, and custom internal tools that replace manual work. Python + TypeScript. → Mobile — React Native and Flutter apps backed by real APIs, not templates. My stack: - Frontend: React, Next.js, React Native, Flutter, TypeScript - Backend: Node.js, Express, NestJS, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Laravel - AI: LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, Claude, Gemini - Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Supabase, Firebase, Prisma, Sequelize - APIs & Infra: REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, microservices How I work: Clear async updates, questions before code, and zero ghosting. I'd rather spend 20 minutes scoping properly than 20 hours building the wrong thing. Comfortable in Agile teams and handling end-to-end ownership solo. If you're starting a new build or inheriting legacy code that needs rescuing, let's jump on a quick call and see if we're a fit.
