Services offered

I’m a Full-Stack Developer & WevOps Architect with 15+ years of hands-on experience building, deploying, and scaling production systems—turning technical challenges into reliable, secure, cost-efficient solutions.

On the full-stack side, I build modern web applications with React 18/19 + TypeScript, clean UI systems (Tailwind / Shadcn), and backends using Node.js/Express and serverless platforms (Cloudflare Workers).

On the WevOps/Linux side, I focus on what keeps products stable in the real world: Linux administration, security hardening, performance tuning, monitoring, automation, and CI/CD pipelines that make shipping safer and faster.

I regularly help:

Startups move from MVP to production-ready architecture (without burning budget)
Companies modernize legacy systems and improve reliability/security
Teams streamline workflows, automate deployments, and reduce operational risk

What you can expect working with me:

End-to-end ownership (build → deploy → maintain)
Clear communication and predictable delivery
Security-first, production-grade decisions
A focus on outcomes: performance, uptime, cost control, and maintainability

If you share your goal, current stack, and timeline, I’ll reply with a practical plan and next steps.
