<Recent Works>
Built a blogging platform where users can manage multiple blogs with categories and posts — solving my need to handle blogs across personal and SaaS projects.
Designed a multi-tenant architecture for scalability, wrote tests with Vitest for reliability, and deployed on a VPS using Docker + Nginx with CI/CD.
Tech stack & decisions:
- Next.js: Chosen over Angular/Vue for SEO + React ecosystem.
- Tailwind: Utility-first for speed + consistency (tradeoff: verbose classes).
- Node.js + Express: Lightweight, full control over APIs.
- MongoDB: Flexible schemas for multi-tenant data (tradeoff: complex queries).
- Docker + Nginx: Ensured reproducible deployments + reverse proxy.
An app that connects to GitHub and auto-generates project updates from merged pull requests, which can be scheduled for Twitter/LinkedIn — helping devs share progress and grow their online presence.
Focused on automating social posting for developers who struggle with consistency. Built GitHub integration for auto-updates, added manual post creation, and used scheduled jobs with Cloudflare Cron for posting.
Tech stack & decisions:
- Next.js: For frontend + SSR; faster iteration vs Angular/Vue.
- Postgres: Chosen for relational data (users, projects, posts).
- Redis: Used to job queueing
- Node.js (Backend): Unified JS stack + flexibility for GitHub APIs.
- Cloudflare Cron Jobs: Reliable, cost-effective scheduling vs hosting my own workers.
- Docker: Consistent local + production environments.
<My approach>
Here's how I approach building projects:
- Detail-oriented builder: I value clean UIs and can translate Figma designs into pixel-perfect, responsive frontends using Next.js + Tailwind.
- Practical yet disciplined: I write secure, testable backend code (Node.js, Postgres, MongoDB) with a focus on scalability and maintainability.
- Hands-on with production: I deploy apps on VPS with Docker + Nginx, balancing cost efficiency with real-world DevOps learning.
