Aspiring Software Engineer | Full-Stack Developer (in progress)
Backend-leaning • Learning intentionally • Building step by step
I’m a software developer actively building my foundation in JavaScript, backend development, and full-stack applications.
My learning journey has included frontend projects with React, backend APIs using Express, and database-driven applications with MongoDB.
I’m still learning — and I’m honest about that — but I take my growth seriously and focus on understanding why things work, not just making them run.
Areas I’m especially interested in:
- Backend development and APIs
- Data flow between frontend and backend
- Application structure and organization
- Healthcare and wellness-focused technology
Languages
- JavaScript (ES6+)
Frontend
- React
- Vite
- HTML, CSS
Backend
- Node.js
- Express
- MongoDB / Mongoose
Tools
- Git & GitHub
- Postman
- VS Code
- npm
- Frontend (React + Vite):

This project helped me connect frontend and backend concepts, work with APIs, and understand how data moves through an application.
- SBA318 — Express server fundamentals
- SBA319 — MongoDB CRUD API
- SBA316 / SBA308 — JavaScript and DOM basics
These repositories reflect my learning progression and problem-solving process.
- Strengthening JavaScript fundamentals
- Becoming more comfortable with backend logic
- Improving confidence explaining my code
- Writing clearer documentation for my projects
