“For being a successful software engineer, technical skills are not enough. You need creativity, passion, dedication, and the imagination to build solutions that don’t just work, but make a real difference.“

About me

I’m a Software Engineer based in Albania with 10+ years of experience building web applications and custom software solutions. I help businesses turn ideas into scalable, high-performing digital products, from the first line of code to final deployment.

My core focus is full-stack web development using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and WordPress. I build custom websites, web applications, REST APIs, and system integrations that are fast, secure, SEO-optimized, and built to grow with your business.

I bring together strong engineering skills and a deep understanding of UI/UX principles to deliver digital experiences that are intuitive, conversion-focused, and aligned with your brand and business goals.

Alongside my engineering work, I lecture in web development — mentoring the next generation of developers and staying continuously aligned with evolving technologies and industry standards.
