Background
I'm a software engineering student in Madagascar, learning by shipping. Most of what I know came from building projects end to end and rewriting them when they turned out wrong.
About
Tafita Mathieu
Fullstack developer based in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Comfortable across the stack, happiest where the backend meets the interface.
What I build
Full-stack web products, REST APIs and the occasional desktop tool. A finance tracker, a real-time video chat platform, a study assistant, and a desktop pet that lives on my Linux panel.
What I enjoy solving
Data modelling and the boundary between client and server: designing an API that makes the UI simple, and a UI that doesn't lie about what the server is doing.
How I work
Minimal effort, maximal impact. I reach for a proven library before writing my own, keep the architecture flat until it hurts, and prefer readable code over clever code.
