Hi — I'm Yabets, a frontend engineer who loves making the web feel calm, fast, and well-crafted. Two years in, I've shipped real-time platforms, SaaS dashboards, and content sites end-to-end with React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I care about good UX, clean code, and the small details that make a product feel alive. I'm open to any kind of role — full-time, part-time, contract, internship, or freelance — and I work happily on-site, hybrid, or fully remote with teams anywhere in the world.

A bit more about me

— The longer story

I started writing code because I wanted to build the kinds of products I admired — fast, clear, and quietly delightful to use. That curiosity grew into two years of shipping real software with small teams, mostly on the frontend, often end-to-end.

Today I'm most at home in React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I love the moment a Figma frame becomes a real, interactive thing on screen — and I care a lot about making interfaces feel calm rather than busy. My backend practice is still growing: I'm comfortable with Supabase and full-stack Next.js, and I treat "I don't know that yet" as an invitation, not a problem.

If a project needs me to pick up a new tool, framework, or domain — I'll go find it. Flexible, curious, and ready to ship.

Stock Management System

The Stock Management System is a full-stack web application designed to efficiently manage inventory for businesses and warehouse operations. It provides a centralized dashboard for tracking products, monitoring stock levels, and managing multiple administrators. Built as a personal project, it focuses on real-world inventory workflows such as product lifecycle management, stock monitoring, and reporting. The system allows admins to add, edit, and update products, manage categories, and track stock status in real time. It also includes low-stock alerts and reporting features to help businesses make informed decisions and avoid inventory shortages. Authentication is implemented with role-based access, allowing an admin to create and manage additional admins securely.

Kind words

“I have worked with Yabets on two projects, including our startup HarifMoments. He learns fast, builds with care, and brings a level of discipline to frontend that is rare to find. Watching him grow has been a joy — he is the kind of engineer any team would be lucky to have.”

Common questions

I build production web apps and marketing sites — dashboards, SaaS products, real-time platforms, content sites. Mostly React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind, with Supabase or Postgres on the backend. Comfortable owning UI from Figma to ship, or joining an existing team and codebase.

Yes — I'm open to any kind of role. Full-time, part-time, contract, internship, or freelance. On-site, hybrid, or fully remote. I work well with teams anywhere in the world. Get in touch and I'll respond within a day.

A polished landing page lands in 1–2 weeks. A full SaaS dashboard with auth, role-based access, and admin tooling lands in 4–8 weeks depending on scope. For full-time roles I ramp quickly — usually contributing in week one.

Frontend is my home, but I am full-stack on Next.js — auth, RBAC, file storage, protected admin dashboards, REST and Supabase realtime. I'm comfortable owning a feature end-to-end.

Both. I adapt to your design system, tokens, conventions, and review process — Figma hand-offs, shadcn/ui, custom systems. Or I can build a clean system from scratch with Tailwind if you don't have one yet.
