Summary

I’m a full stack developer with 2+ years of experience in the MERN stack—building dynamic, scalable applications using React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Before that, I spent 4+ years focused on backend-heavy development with PHP, WordPress, JavaScript, MySQL, and REST APIs. I specialize in building robust APIs, integrating secure payment systems, and delivering clean, maintainable code across both modern and legacy stacks.
