I build and ship full-stack products — React and Next.js on the front end, Node, Django and PostgreSQL underneath. Four years in, currently building a real-time recruitment platform at Druv360, and running an independent freelance practice alongside it. AI-assisted daily: Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI are part of how I write and ship software, not a side experiment.
