Hi, I'm Elijah.
I'm a full stack developer who builds cross-platform mobile apps and web products from first sketch to the App Store and Google Play. My work spans React Native and Expo on the front end, and Node.js, PostgreSQL and REST APIs behind it.
I've shipped apps like Culinari, Praci and Appzo, and websites for restaurants, SaaS products and agencies. I care about fast, reliable software with clear architecture, built so real people enjoy using it.
