About Me

I don't just write code — I design, build & ship the whole thing.

Hi, I'm Alex — a full-stack developer who's comfortable on every layer: sketching layouts in Photoshop, styling pages with HTML, CSS & Bootstrap, building interfaces in React JS, and powering them with Node JS, MongoDB & MySQL.

Over the last 6+ years that toolkit has shipped 200+ projects — WordPress sites for local businesses, custom React apps for startups, and everything in between. I sweat the details users actually feel: fast load times, clean layouts and code the next developer can read like a good story.

How I Work

From first call to launch day — zero surprises.

A simple four-step process, refined over 200+ projects, that keeps you in the loop from kickoff to handover.

01

Discover

A relaxed call about your goals, users and timeline — then a clear proposal with a fixed scope. No vague estimates, ever.

02

Design

Wireframes first, then a polished mockup in Photoshop. You see and approve the full look before a single line of code.

03

Build

Clean, commented code with a preview link every week — you watch the project grow and steer it along the way.

04

Launch & Care

Deployment, speed tuning and analytics — plus a friendly hand for fixes and updates long after launch day.

My Journey

Six years of shipping & learning.

From the first HTML tag to full-stack product builds — every chapter added a new layer to the toolkit.

2026 Where I am now

Full-Stack Freelancer — 200+ projects

Running end-to-end product builds for startups and local businesses — the 200+ projects milestone is behind me, and the counter is still spinning.

2023 The specialist years

UI Engineering Focus

Dashboards and web apps for growing teams — design systems, component thinking and pixel-accurate builds became the daily bread.

2021 The leap

The Full-Stack Leap

Added Node JS, MongoDB & MySQL to the toolbox — suddenly every frontend could carry a real engine behind it.

2020 The origin

First Lines of Code

HTML, CSS and a healthy dose of curiosity — first landing pages, first WordPress clients, and the first “wow, it's live!” moment.
