About

👋 Hi, I’m Farouk Chebaiki

🚀 Full Stack Developer · Security & DevOps Enthusiast

I’m a Full Stack Developer passionate about building scalable, secure, and high‑performance web applications. I blend intuitive frontend experiences with robust backend systems — always guided by efficiency, security, and maintainability.

With a focus on clean architecture and modern tech, I bring ideas to life with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, and tRPC — while ensuring reliability with Express, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Firebase.

What I do

End‑to‑end product work — from data models and APIs to clean, responsive UIs — with performance and security top of mind.

  • Frontend Development → Seamless UIs with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, and MUI — accessible, fast, and polished.
  • Backend Engineering → Secure APIs and scalable systems with Node.js, Express, and tRPC — optimized for reliability and speed.
  • DevOps & Security → Hardened infrastructures using Docker, Podman, Ubuntu Server, and Nginx — with automation at the core.
  • Scalable Deployments → Performance‑driven pipelines with Cloudflare, Payload CMS, and containerization strategies.
