Summary

As a full-stack developer and NEAR certified web3 developer, I have built fully-fledged web applications using Javascript and Typescript with React.js and Next.js, Tailwindcss for the frontend, Node.js with Express for the backend and APIs. I have connected APIs with databases such as MongoDB and GraphCMS using prisma and TRPC. I have also developed smart contracts for NEAR Protocol using Rust and React.js for an interactive frontend. I use Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap for styling, and I'm experienced with Python, JavaScript, TypeScript and Rust. My applications are hosted on GitHub where I contribute to open-source. I am a treasurer for TUM Developers Club where I lead members through full-stack web app development. I have participated in various tech events and hackathons. My goal is to inspire and mentor upcoming developers and programmers worldwide.
