Hi, I’m CJ Karkut—a full stack developer with over four years of hands-on experience building and launching modern web applications. I’ve worked across the stack—frontend, backend, DevOps, and architecture—and I’m used to wearing multiple hats to bring ideas to life.
I love solving real-world problems with clean, scalable code, and I always keep performance and security top of mind—whether I’m integrating Stripe, securing APIs, or implementing auth.
Outside of coding, I’m passionate about mentoring and teaching. Helping newer developers grow while keeping team quality high is something I care deeply about.
Over the years, I’ve built a range of projects that reflect both technical depth and creativity. Each one has challenged me to think not just like a developer, but like a problem-solver.
