Amer Lotfi Orimi
Passionate about building scalable web & mobile applications with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and NestJS
// About Me
I'm a passionate full-stack engineer with a strong foundation in front-end technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, ReactJS, and React Native, complemented by solid back-end experience with Node.js and the NestJS framework.
My work spans building and maintaining scalable web and mobile applications, modernising legacy systems, and designing efficient architectures. I thrive on solving complex problems end-to-end, from crafting intuitive UIs to developing robust APIs.
Outside of work, I enjoy writing technical blog posts, contributing to Stack Overflow, and advocating for clean, type-safe code across the stack.
