I build interfaces people work with.
React and Next.js on the frontend.
A full-stack foundation underneath.

BUILDING SINCE 2022

From my first MERN projects
to software people use every day.

CALICUT · THE PATH INTO SOFTWARE

People first.
Then code.

Before building interfaces, I helped people navigate bookings and travel. I moved into MERN development in 2022, bringing that attention to the person on the other side of the screen.

The work
behind the work.

I develop and maintain three production applications for Salvex: a Next.js customer marketplace, a React admin panel, and an aviation parts-procurement platform.

My work spans React, TypeScript and Redux, API integration, real-time notifications, and the details that keep forms and workflows usable across browsers.

ALSO PART OF THIS WORK

Legacy ColdFusion pages to responsive HTML · Bid reports and invoices · Pug email templates · Collaboration with a US-based client team

CUSTOMER PLATFORM · MODERNIZATION

New framework.
Existing journeys.

I migrated My Account pages from Gatsby to Next.js, including listing dashboards and dynamic invoice routes.

I also contributed to rendering performance with SSR and ISR, and audited technical SEO across six categories to give the team a prioritized set of improvements.

IN THE DETAILS

Next.js routing · SSR & ISR
Lighthouse · Technical SEO

SALVEX · AVIATION

From a part number
to a conversation.

I worked on aviation parts search, RFQ interfaces, and procurement requests, including registration within the enquiry flow.

MY CONTRIBUTIONS

Parts-table filters
Spreadsheet validation
Responsive request modals
Claim-profile and registration flows

AI-ASSISTED LISTING CREATION

A description in.
A draft to work with.

I built the interface that turns extracted listing information into something a person can review, edit, and publish.

That means handling category hierarchies, seller and manufacturer selection, location and pricing validation, and image or document uploads.

THE IMPORTANT STEP

The user stays in the loop.
Extract. Review. Edit. Create.

PERSONAL PROJECTS · FULL-STACK FOUNDATIONS

From a blank repo
to a working app.

These are the projects where I put the pieces together: data models, authentication, state, payments and deployment.

01 / AMICO · MERN SOCIAL APP

Posts, comments, follows and notifications. JWT authentication, email OTP and password recovery, with Redux Thunk and MongoDB aggregation.

THE TOOLKIT · STILL GROWING

Mostly React.
Always learning.

My strongest focus is the frontend: React, Next.js and TypeScript. Full-stack projects give me the context to work across APIs, authentication and data.
