About me
Engineer, mentor, builder.
The short version: I turn business problems into reliable, fast software — and help teams do the same.

Hi, I'm Admire — a full-stack engineer with 6+ years in production.
I design, build, test and maintain scalable enterprise web applications and SaaS products across the React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and AWS ecosystem.
I'm comfortable owning a feature end to end: responsive frontends, RESTful APIs, database-backed systems, reusable component libraries and real-time features — plus the automated testing, CI/CD, accessibility and code review that keep all of it maintainable.
Today I'm a Full-Stack Engineer at Gerko, reporting to the CTO and mentoring three junior developers while building a multi-tenant healthcare Practice Management SaaS. Before that I shipped enterprise apps at Sasol and fintech interfaces at Tata Consultancy Services.
