Frontend for a card-management system running on the bank's own infrastructure. Took it through a 10-finding penetration-test remediation and shipped a Docker deployment that switches API targets at runtime — no rebuilds on-prem.

About

Trained as a petroleum engineer, I bring the same discipline to software: understand the system, design for failure, and leave it documented.

I've been building for the web since 2022 — first responsive React interfaces for company and client sites, now frontends for banking and property-finance products where reliability matters.

I care about the whole path to production. My projects ship through GitHub Actions to GHCR and into Docker behind Nginx on VPS and Oracle Cloud — this site included.
