Crafting Scalable, High-Performance Web Experiences
Building intuitive, fast, and user-focused applications with React, Next.js, and Node.js. Passionate about creating seamless digital experiences that make a difference.
My Journey
From Self-Taught Developer to Product Builder
My journey into web development wasn’t conventional—it was fueled by curiosity, passion, and relentless learning. I started as a self-taught developer, diving deep into JavaScript, TypeScript, and the React ecosystem, crafting projects that pushed my limits.
🔹 Early Days – Building the Foundation
I began by reverse-engineering complex UIs, breaking down intricate designs into reusable React components. My first hands-on experience came with freelance projects, where I transformed Figma designs into high-performance web applications.
🔹 Breaking into the Industry
I landed my first major role at Legal Doctrine, where I refined my skills in Next.js, React Query, and API integrations, working on an AI-powered legal research platform. This experience shaped my approach to performance optimization and scalable architectures.
🔹 Growth & Innovation
Working with IDAA Academy gave me insights into e-learning platforms, crafting interactive dashboards and seamless UX/UI experiences. But I wanted more—I wanted to build something from scratch.
🔹 Lexonate – My Vision in Action
I founded Lexonate, a CMS designed for scalable content and internalization, solving real-world challenges in multilingual web apps. Here, I combined full-stack expertise (Next.js, Node.js, Tailwind, Express) with my deep understanding of role-based access control (RBAC) to create a seamless product.
🔹 What’s Next?
I’m always seeking challenges that push boundaries—whether it's optimizing performance, crafting intuitive interfaces, or building products that make an impact.
