Full-stack + real-time tech stack with systems-first & network-oriented engineering tools.
>resources
A collection of stacks and tools I use to build full-stack, real-time software with a systems-first mindset.
My Identity
These go first and my full-stack direction.
- - Next.js (App Router) - Frontend architecture and modern UI routing.
- - FastAPI - Backend logic, authentication, and APIs.
- - PostgreSQL - Reliable relational data layer.
Real-Time / Systems
This is the differentiator aligned with my network programming path.
- - WebSockets - Persistent low-latency communication for live features.
- - REST APIs - Structured service boundaries for frontend-backend flow.
- - Basic Networking (TCP/IP, sockets) - Foundation for deeper systems and protocol-level thinking.
State & Frontend Tools
Minimal, practical tools for modern frontend workflow.
- - Zustand - Lean state management for app-level UI state.
- - Tailwind CSS - Fast utility-first styling and design consistency.
- - Framer Motion / GSAP - Interactive animation and motion storytelling.
Tools & Environment
For shipping and learning discipline.
- - Docker - Containerized development and deploy-ready setups.
- - Git & GitHub - Version control and collaboration workflow.
- - Linux (MX Linux) - Daily development environment for tooling and scripting.
