About me
Full-stack builder with a backend soul.
Hi, I’m Natasha - a full-stack developer with a strong backend focus and a love for solving real problems.
I’m also the co-founder of Make Mark Studio, where I lead development and help turn ideas into polished, modern web experiences.
I build complete web solutions end-to-end: backend APIs, frontend interfaces, databases, and the infrastructure that keeps everything running. My main stack is Java (Spring Boot) on the backend and modern JS frameworks (Vue, React/Next) on the frontend. I’m also comfortable with databases, APIs, and server setup on Linux with Nginx/Apache.
What drives me is turning ideas into working products. I enjoy digging into complex logic, troubleshooting issues others might avoid, and making sure every detail is solid - from database design to user experience.
I’m persistent, creative, and detail-oriented - someone who doesn’t give up easily. That same mindset guides me both in development and in life.
