About Me

I'm a full-stack developer based in New York with 5+ years of experience building web applications. I work with Laravel, PHP, React, Vue.js, and other modern technologies – picking the right tools for each project.

I handle both frontend and backend development. I've built RESTful APIs, designed databases, and deployed applications to the cloud. My experience ranges from simple websites to complex enterprise applications.

I created TCG Architect from scratch – a complete platform for Grand Archive TCG with 1,800+ cards and advanced filtering. I work with digital marketing agencies, enterprise companies, and SaaS businesses, solving the challenging problems that come with real-world applications.

I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of development and building things that people actually use. When I'm not coding, I'm usually learning new technologies or working on side projects.
