In the world of development, your tech stack says a lot about your workflow, preferences, and how you approach building digital products. Whether you’re working solo or with a team, the tools you choose can impact your productivity, the scalability of your projects, and even your learning curve.

As a full-stack developer and online educator, I get this question a lot: "What’s your current stack?" So, here’s a breakdown of what I’m currently using:

My Current Tech Stack (2025)

  • Frontend:

    • Next.js 15 – My go-to React framework for building scalable, SEO-friendly web apps.
    • React 18 – Core for all UI logic and component-driven development.
    • Tailwind CSS – Utility-first CSS framework for fast and responsive design.
    • Shadcn UI – Clean, accessible UI components built on Radix.
    • Framer Motion – For animations and transitions.

  • Backend:

    • Node.js – JavaScript runtime for building backend logic.
    • Express.js – Minimal and flexible framework for APIs.
    • MongoDB – NoSQL database for dynamic data storage.
    • Prisma (when working with SQL) – Modern ORM for PostgreSQL or MySQL.

  • Authentication & Payments:

    • Clerk or NextAuth.js – Easy-to-implement auth solutions.
    • Stripe – For subscriptions and digital product payments.

  • Dev Tools:

    • TypeScript – For type safety across my apps.
    • VS Code – Lightweight yet powerful editor with all my favorite extensions.
    • Vercel – My deployment platform for most frontend projects.
    • GitHub – For version control and CI/CD workflows.

Why It Works for Me

This stack allows me to ship fast, maintain clean code, and build scalable applications—whether it's an AI SaaS, an educational platform, or my eBooks.

If you're an aspiring developer, picking a stack like this gives you access to modern development practices and high-performance tools used by startups and big tech alike.

What About You?

I’d love to know what your current tech stack looks like. Are you team Vue or React? Using Firebase or Supabase? Let’s compare and maybe even inspire each other to try new tools!
