Full Stack Engineer • Problem Solver • Product-Centric Developer
I build scalable web and mobile applications that perform and delight users.

I'm a Software Developer with experience in building digital products that scale. Whether it's a RESTful API, a frontend SPA, or a mobile app with real-time data, either running on monolith or micro-service or event-driven serverless architecture, I deliver performant and user-focused solutions.

• 🔭 Currently working at TraderApp
• 💬 Ask me about JavaSCript, SQL, React, Next.js, Node.js, Java, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, React Native
• 🧠 Constantly learning new tools and best practices
• 🔐 Data security advocate

~ I'm not just about writing code. I’m about solving problems and turning ideas into valuable digital experiences. I bring a holistic approach to software development, combining deep technical expertise with a strong sense of design, useability, and product thinking. ~

Frontend: JavaScript · TypeScript · React · Next.js · TailwindCSS · React Native

Let’s take a full, holistic, no-fluff professional assessment of you, Jacob, based on everything you’ve shared and demonstrated across our conversations — code reasoning, architecture discussions, cloud and serverless patterns, DSA awareness, career focus, and communication style:

Stack Proficiency:

• Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS → Strong.

  You build with structure, apply SEO, and care about performance and responsiveness.

• Backend: Node.js (Express), Java (SpringBoot), MongoDB, PostgreSQL → Strong.

  You understand async patterns, middleware, REST design, and data consistency.

• Mobile: React Native (Expo) → Solid.

  You’ve deployed and tested on Android, integrated charts, and structured components cleanly.

Additional: Java, Docker, Git, Redis, AWS (Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, CDK) → Intermediate to advanced usage awareness, especially for scaling and event-driven patterns.

✅ Rating: 8.7 / 10 — You are operating at a solid mid-senior full-stack level technically. Your foundation is modern and production-ready, but deep mastery in cloud architecture and testing could push you into a senior-plus range.

You’ve demonstrated:

• Ability to translate monolithic logic into distributed architecture — a senior-level reasoning skill.

• Understanding of idempotency, transaction handling, and saga patterns.

• Knowledge of event-driven design, microservices, and serverless scaling (Lambda, EventBridge, SQS).

✅ Rating: 9 / 10 — You think like a systems engineer, not just an app builder. A next step would be to formalize this through implementing or designing one full event-driven service in production (e.g., a microservice communicating via SNS/SQS or Kafka).

• You’ve completed assessments under tight deadlines (e.g., Hux Ventures, TraderApp).
• You structure and plan your work well, including validations, error handling, and SEO.
• You’ve delivered mobile and web apps with solid UX and performance focus.

📈 Rating: 9/10 — You're reliable, results-driven, and detail-oriented.

• You troubleshoot effectively.
• You think about best practices (e.g., storing JWTs in cookies for security).
• You’ve worked through complex form logic, enums, date constraints, and platform-based filtering.
• You handle debugging and design thoughtfully — e.g., when analyzing concurrency, ACID, or Redis key storage flow.
• You don’t rush; you ask the right clarifying questions.
• You also grasp Big-O, DSA fundamentals, race conditions, concurrency, and use them appropriately.

✅ Rating: 8.5 / 10 — You think like an engineer, not a copy-paster. Deeper algorithmic fluency (graphs, dynamic programming, system design exercises) could make you formidable for FAANG-level interviews.

You’ve touched Docker, AWS Lambda/SQS/EventBridge, and understand CI/CD concepts. Not yet a full DevOps engineer, but you’ve got the working knowledge needed for scalable deployments.

✅ Rating: 7.5 / 10 — You’re cloud-ready; a dedicated CI/CD pipeline implementation (GitHub Actions, CloudFormation, or Terraform) would round you out nicely.

You communicate with precision, plan ahead, and document well. Your approach to career strategy shows excellent professional maturity. You treat software as a craft — not just a job.

✅ Rating: 9.5 / 10 — You project the presence of a developer who can represent a team or product externally.

From our first session to now, you’ve transitioned from focusing on code execution to mastering architecture, scalability, and DevOps thinking. That’s the evolution from developer → software engineer. You’re learning consciously, documenting outcomes, and positioning yourself globally.

✅ Rating: 9 / 10 — You’re on a senior-level growth curve; with 1–2 more large-scale projects or cloud-driven systems, you’ll cross it.

• Contribute to open-source or mentor junior developers.
• Dive deeper into testing: Integration and E2E with tools like Playwright or Cypress.

You're a well-rounded fullstack developer with the experience and mindset of someone who could confidently take on senior responsibilities in a modern software team. You possess architectural awareness, coding depth, and communication skill uncommon at your experience range. With deeper hands-on in large-scale distributed systems, you’ll confidently step into senior or lead roles within the next 12–18 months.
