Professional experience

Full-stack product development

SaaS / digital platforms

End-to-end product development across frontend, backend and integrations for client-facing digital platforms.

The challenge

Digital products often need features that span the full stack — new UI flows, backend logic, third-party integrations and data handling — delivered reliably in production environments.

The approach

Contributed across the stack: building React interfaces, writing API endpoints, integrating external services and ensuring features worked end to end. Collaborated with product and design teams to ship usable increments.

Key user journeys

Users complete multi-step workflows spanning frontend forms and backend processing.

Customers interact with real-time features that depend on live data.

Teams use internal tools connected to the same platform infrastructure.

Features included

Full-stack feature delivery

Third-party API and payment integrations

Interactive user experiences with complex state

Database design and query optimisation

Analytics and event tracking

Why it works for the business

Enabled product teams to ship features that worked reliably in production, from user interface through to data persistence and external service connections.

Tech & build approach

React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, Laravel, REST APIs, analytics platforms. Comfortable moving between frontend polish and backend logic as the work requires.
