JOHNNY FARIS

Intro

Through my software engineering course, I gained hands-on experience in building full-stack applications, mastering both front-end and back-end development. I learned to design responsive user interfaces with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, develop dynamic web applications using React, and implement robust server-side logic with Node.js and Express. On the back end, I worked extensively with PostgreSQL and Knex for database design and query optimization, while following RESTful API principles. Additionally, I strengthened my understanding of version control with Git, testing methodologies, and deployment best practices, enabling me to deliver scalable, maintainable, and production-ready applications. Take a look at some of my work.

About

👨‍💻 Turning ideas into real-world apps. I’m a full-stack developer with hands-on experience building applications using JavaScript, React, Express.js, PostgreSQL, Knex and more. I have developed projects ranging from recipe managers and blogging platforms to inventory systems for small businesses.

Before coding, I was a professional MMA fighter—an experience that taught me the same qualities I now bring to software development: discipline, adaptability, and problem-solving under pressure. In the cage, you train for every scenario and think strategically in real time; in development, you apply that same mindset to debugging, architecting solutions, and creating products that work.

⚡ Technical Highlights:
React, JavaScript (ES6+), Node.js, Express
REST APIs & PostgreSQL (Knex ORM)
Test-driven development & error handling
Building user-friendly, goal-driven applications

I thrive on solving tough problems, writing clean code, and continuously learning. Whether in the gym, the cage, or at the keyboard, my work ethic is built on persistence and the belief that progress comes through consistent effort.
