Most projects lose weeks to handoffs — design to frontend, frontend to backend, backend to whoever manages the server. I close that gap by owning the whole path myself: fewer mismatched assumptions, and what you approve in the mockup is what ships to production.
React, Next.js, and TypeScript on the frontend — component systems built to be reused, not rebuilt per page, tuned for Core Web Vitals. Node and relational schemas on the backend, with REST or GraphQL contracts that stay stable as the product grows.
It does not stop at code: Docker images, CI pipelines, self-hosted infrastructure, and monitoring that flags problems before your users do. “It runs on my machine” is not a deliverable — a running product is.
