> Software Engineer | React, TypeScript, Node, PostgreSQL | Front-End Leaning Full-Stack

Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/petertoussaint

I’m a full-stack software engineer with a front-end lean, working with React, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.

I got into engineering through accounting, where I started building automations and improving systems instead of just working around inefficient processes. That same mindset still shapes how I work now. I care about building products that are clear, reliable, and easy to use, whether that means improving the frontend experience, strengthening backend logic, or making the overall system easier to work with.

My background in accounting, client work, and running my own mobile DJ business gave me a strong sense of ownership, communication, and real-world perspective. I’m especially interested in full-stack software engineering, frontend engineering, and startup environments where I can contribute across the stack, help build real products, and bring both technical skill and maturity to the team.
