I’m the founder of ReactArchitect.ai.
Our tool helps developers visualize and document React and Next.js projects in minutes. It generates component diagrams, documentation, and summaries automatically with AI. From props flow to node packages, every detail of your app is mapped and explained. Clean, modular, and scalable projects—built with the clarity of real architecture.
My goal is always to deliver systems that perform, scale, and truly improve workflows, blending robust engineering with thoughtful UX. Starting my career as a QA engineer and tech support specialist, I bring a user-centric and practical mindset to every product I build.
