I'm Francisco III Cruz, a Full Stack Developer with over 6 years of professional experience building scalable, secure, and high-performance web applications. I specialize in REST API development, backend architecture, and modern JavaScript frameworks, with hands-on experience delivering production-ready solutions for SaaS platforms, enterprise systems, and mobile applications.
My core strength lies in designing and developing robust backend services using Node.js, Express.js, PHP, and CodeIgniter, supported by well-structured databases such as MongoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. On the frontend, I work confidently with React.js, Next.js, Angular, JavaScript, and jQuery, ensuring seamless integration between UI and backend services.
I have extensive experience deploying and maintaining applications on AWS (EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, S3) and DigitalOcean, implementing serverless architectures, and documenting APIs using Swagger (YAML). I also apply unit and integration testing with Jest.js to ensure reliability and performance.
I enjoy problem-solving and tackling complex challenges, and I?m a fast learner who stays up to date with industry trends and evolving technologies. I work well both independently and in team environments, contributing not only code but also ideas, improvements, and long-term solutions. I?m eager to bring my skills and dedication to a team where I can help build impactful and scalable applications.
Let's create amazing applications together!
