I am a senior full stack engineer.
With a passion for building efficient and scalable solutions across the entire technology stack, I
thrive on tackling complex challenges and delivering high-quality
software that meets and exceeds client expectations.
I am a highly skilled full stack software engineer specializing in both frontend and backend development, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices. With extensive experience in building scalable, efficient, and robust systems end-to-end, I have successfully delivered enterprise-grade applications across various industries including logistics, e-commerce, agriculture, and content management.
My technical expertise spans across the entire development stack. On the backend, I leverage Golang for high-performance services and Node.js for scalable APIs. On the frontend, I excel with React, Next.js, and TypeScript to build modern, responsive user interfaces. I design and implement RESTful APIs, microservices architectures, and distributed systems while crafting intuitive user experiences that delight end users.
On the frontend, I work proficiently with modern JavaScript frameworks including React, Next.js, and TypeScript, enabling me to build complete full-stack solutions. I leverage state management libraries like Redux Toolkit and utilize modern UI frameworks such as Tailwind CSS and Ant Design to create responsive, user-friendly interfaces.
My database expertise includes both SQL and NoSQL solutions - from PostgreSQL for complex relational data to MongoDB for flexible document-based storage. I implement efficient database schemas, optimize queries, and ensure data integrity across distributed systems using ORMs like GORM and advanced query patterns.
In the realm of cloud computing and DevOps, I have hands-on experience with containerization using Docker, orchestration with Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipeline automation. I design cloud-native applications that are scalable, resilient, and cost-effective, implementing best practices for security, monitoring, and logging.
Throughout my career, I've worked on diverse projects ranging from digital logistics management platforms integrating with government institutions (KRA, KPA) to building complete e-commerce marketplaces, modern blogging platforms with Next.js, and agricultural vendor systems. Each project has strengthened my ability to understand complex business requirements and translate them into elegant technical solutions.
I am committed to writing clean, maintainable code following industry best practices and design patterns. My approach emphasizes test-driven development, comprehensive documentation, and collaborative teamwork. I stay current with emerging technologies and continuously expand my skill set to deliver cutting-edge solutions.
If you're looking for a dedicated full stack engineer who can build complete applications from database to user interface, architect scalable systems, and deliver end-to-end solutions with modern technologies, I would be excited to collaborate with you on your next project.
