About
Hey there! I'm Stephen Golban — a Mobile & Web Developer who transforms complex ideas into seamless digital experiences.
With 6+ years of experience, I specialize in React Native mobile apps, Next.js web applications, and TypeScript-driven solutions. Beyond UI, I build AI-powered chatbots, RAG flows, and assistants. From fintech to internal tools to geospatial apps, I deliver polished features.
I'm also a vibe-code cleaning specialist — I take messy codebases and turn them into maintainable architectures. Whether refactoring legacy systems or optimizing performance, I make code better.
