Hey, I’m Jiss 👋
I’m a software engineer working across the JavaScript ecosystem — Node.js on the backend, Next.js on the web, and React Native on mobile — with a growing focus on AI engineering: building products on top of LLMs, agents, and the tooling around them.
This blog is my public notebook. Writing things down forces me to actually understand them, and publishing them means someone else might skip the rabbit hole I just crawled out of.
What I write about
- Coding tutorials — step-by-step guides for things I’ve built for real
- Code snippets — small, copy-pasteable utilities with explanations
- AI & coding news — what’s changing and what it means for working devs
- Coding tips — the small habits and tricks that compound
- Dev learnings — postmortems, gotchas, and “I wish I knew this earlier”
Tech I work with
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Backend | Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis |
| Web | Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS |
| Mobile | React Native, Expo |
