A bit of context.
Senior Full Stack Developer

Right now I'm at GridTech Solutions Inc., where I work on a restaurant and delivery platform using WebSockets, React with TypeScript, and Node.js with NestJS. Before that I spent nearly three years at a digital agency handling everything from custom WooCommerce plugins and Shopify storefronts to Laravel-backed internal tools with third-party delivery API integrations. I'm most comfortable in the space where back-end data flow and front-end usability meet, and I tend to care a lot about how systems are structured, not just whether they work.

I'm a full stack developer with six years of experience building web and software applications across the entire stack, from front-end interfaces to back-end services, CMS integrations, and e-commerce platforms. Most of my work has been in food delivery and restaurant tech, where I've built things like live order tracking systems, kitchen display interfaces, and operations dashboards. I've spent most of my career in small teams of three to eight people, which means I'm used to owning features end-to-end and making real architectural decisions.
