about me
Zaker Safdari
I’m an early-career software developer with hands-on experience building and maintaining full‑stack applications across web and mobile platforms. I focus on designing REST APIs, integrating backend systems, and building user-facing features with Next.js, TypeScript, and FastAPI. I’ve worked on AI-driven systems (image classification, recommendation) and enjoy solving real-world problems through clean, testable code.

Support Teacher (Full-Stack Web Development), Casual
Take 2 · Auckland
I supported learners working through full-stack development by helping them troubleshoot issues and understand how different parts of an application connect. This included guiding them through debugging problems across frontend, backend, APIs, and development environments.
I also delivered structured online sessions covering full-stack systems, including building applications end-to-end — from user input through backend processing to output generation. This experience strengthened my ability to explain technical concepts clearly and adapt to different levels of understanding.
