I build and ship full-stack web applications from database to deployment. With production experience on AWS EC2, CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions, and hands-on delivery using Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and Python, I help startups and growing businesses turn ideas into working, reliable software.
What I can do for you:
1. Build full-stack web apps (Next.js front-end + Node.js/Express back-end)
2. Set up REST APIs, authentication (NextAuth, JWT), and role-based access
3. Connect and manage databases (MongoDB, MySQL, SQL Server)
4. Deploy your app to AWS EC2 or Linux servers with CI/CD automation
5. Integrate third-party APIs, payment systems, and data pipelines
I've built a real-time brand monitoring dashboard, a logistics management platform, an e-commerce system with PayPal integration, and a D3.js data visualization tool all shipped to production. I also work as a Graduate Research Assistant in AI/NLP, which means I write clean, structured code and communicate clearly in English.
I'm in a time zone that overlaps well with US mornings (UTC+8), respond fast, and deliver on time. If you need something built properly and want clear communication throughout, let's talk.
