👋 Hey, I'm Andrew Thompson

I'm a Full-Stack Developer with a growing focus on backend engineering, building applications with JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, and modern web technologies.

I enjoy figuring out how systems work behind the scenes — APIs, databases, application architecture, developer tooling, and the infrastructure that connects everything together.

🛠️ Tech I Work With

Languages

  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • SQL
  • HTML / CSS

Backend

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • REST APIs
  • GraphQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • MongoDB
  • Prisma
  • Sequelize

Frontend

  • Vite
  • Tailwind CSS

Tools & DevOps

  • Git & GitHub
  • Docker
  • Postman
  • GitHub Actions
  • VS Code

🚀 What I'm Building

I'm currently focused on projects that push me beyond tutorials and into solving real engineering problems.

🌱 ReliefRoot

A full-stack platform centered around cannabis and agricultural analytics, designed with a scalable backend architecture, PostgreSQL data modeling, anonymous sessions, and future grower-focused analytics.

📋 FlowBoard

A full-stack Kanban/project-management application built with TypeScript, React, Express, and PostgreSQL.

🩺 RepoMedic

A developer-tooling project designed to analyze repositories, identify dependency and configuration issues, assign severity levels, and recommend improvements.

🌱 Currently Learning

I'm continuously expanding my backend and systems knowledge, with a current focus on:

  • Advanced TypeScript
  • Python
  • System design
  • API architecture
  • Database design
  • Docker & deployment
  • Testing and application reliability
  • AI-assisted developer tooling

🤝 Let's Build Something

I'm interested in collaborating on open-source projects, developer tools, backend systems, APIs, and full-stack applications.

I'm especially interested in projects where I can contribute while learning from more experienced developers and taking on increasingly challenging problems.

🎯 A Little More About Me

  • 🔧 I enjoy understanding why something works, not just getting it to work.
  • 🧠 Backend development, architecture, and developer tooling are increasingly where I find myself most interested.
  • 🚗 Outside of software, I'm a longtime automotive enthusiast and enjoy working on cars.
  • 🎮 I'm also a gamer, especially RPGs and strategy games.
  • Fun fact: I went from working on cars professionally to learning how to build software — apparently I just like diagnosing complicated systems.

Build it. Break it. Figure out why it broke. Make the next version better.
