Full-stack Developer

Oct 2025 - Present • 8 mos

Since transitioning into a Full-Stack Developer role at Arctic Web, I have been responsible for designing and implementing complete end-to-end solutions. My work includes building backend services with Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and later NestJS, integrating APIs, managing databases, and handling authentication, authorization, and complex business logic. I actively work with modern full-stack architectures, including monorepositories with Next.js and NestJS, focusing on scalability, clean architecture, and long-term maintainability. This role allows me to combine strong frontend expertise with backend system design to deliver robust, production-ready platforms.

Front-end Developer

May 2024 - Oct 2025 • 1 yr 5 mos

At Arctic Web, I worked as a Front-end Developer, building modern, interactive web applications using React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Redux Toolkit, and Framer Motion. I developed complex UI flows, animation-heavy interfaces, and multi-page platforms with a strong focus on UX, responsiveness, and performance. During this period, I significantly strengthened my problem-solving skills, communication, and time management, while confidently taking ownership of frontend architecture and delivering production-ready solutions in commercial projects.
