About

Everything I know came from building real projects, hitting real bugs, and figuring out why things break in production.In the past year I built applications from scratch, alone:→ HackerNews Portal — had to make real decisions about when to use SSR vs CSR, how to handle API failures gracefully, how to keep the UI fast when data is slow. Not a tutorial. A real rendering problem I had to solve focusing on frontend only.→ AI Resume Studio — JWT auth, protected routes, OpenAI integration, file uploads, MongoDB. Every bug was mine to fix. Every architectural decision was mine to make.I come from Civil Engineering. I switched to web development because I genuinely enjoy building things — and frontend gave me that.What I'm good at:— React and Next.js App Router (SSR, CSR, hybrid)— TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion— REST APIs, auth flows, real-world data handling— Making UIs that don't fall apart when APIs misbehaveI'm looking for a remote frontend role or an onsite Opportunity. Available immediately, zero notice period.If you're a founder or hiring manager, www.lalman.dev takes 2 minutes to look at. My code is at https://github.com/lalman-dev.I'm ready to work. Just need the first shot.

Experience

React & Next.js Developer | Self-Directed Projects

Self-Directed Projects

Jan 2025 - Present

I treat these projects like real work — proper architecture, real APIs, actual deployment issues. HackerNews Search Portal next.js · react · typescript · tailwind · REST API hn-news-two.vercel.app The interesting part wasn't building it — it was deciding when SSR actually helps and when it just adds complexity. Used App Router with hybrid rendering, client-side search and pagination, loading skeletons, error states for when the Hacker News API decides to be slow. AI Resume Studio react · node.js · express · mongodb · openai api ai-resume-studio-snowy.vercel.app Full stack. JWT auth, protected routes, multi-step forms, file uploads, OpenAI integration. Debugged real authorization failures, real multipart request conflicts. Shipped it. It works.

Projects

Hacker News Portal

A modern, accessible, and performance-focused Hacker News client built with Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, integrating live data from the Hacker News Algolia API. This project was designed to simulate real-world frontend architecture decisions, with a strong focus on intentional SSR/CSR usage, scalability, accessibility, and production-ready UI patterns. Key decisions made: • Chose SSR for Home/Category pages — SEO and first paint mattered there • Chose CSR for Search — full page reload on every keystroke would've killed the UX • Built threaded comment trees with ARIA patterns • Hydration-safe dark/light theme — anyone who's dealt with hydration mismatch knows why this matters 🔑 Key Features • Intentional SSR for Home and Category pages to optimize SEO, performance, and first contentful paint • Client-side rendering (CSR) for Search and interactive experiences to enable fast, dynamic updates • Dynamic routes for trending stories, categories, search results, and item details • Threaded, collapsible comment trees with accessible ARIA patterns • Fully responsive layout with mobile-first navigation • System-aware light/dark theme with hydration-safe rendering • Skeleton loaders, loading/error boundaries, and subtle UI animations • Centralized API abstraction layer for consistency and maintainability ♿ Accessibility & UX • Semantic HTML with keyboard-friendly navigation • Screen-reader aware loading, error, and empty states • WCAG-aligned UI decisions across interactive components 🛠 Tech Stack Next.js (App Router) · TypeScript · Tailwind CSS v4 · Framer Motion · REST APIs · Git 🔗 Live Demo: https://hn-news-two.vercel.app 💻 Source Code: https://github.com/lalman-dev/hn-news

Agent Run Panel

Built a real-time React and TypeScript UI for visualizing multi-agent AI workflows, including task spawning, tool calls, retries, cancellations, streaming partial outputs, and final outputs. Architected a reducer-based state machine and a pub-sub mock streaming engine that mirrors production WebSocket/SSE behavior without a backend.

AI Resume Studio

Built a React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, and OpenAI API application with streaming responses, structured outputs, retry logic, fallback UI, Redux Toolkit multi-step editing, and JWT/API reliability fixes.
