React & Node Full-Stack Development

I’m building a web application and have already settled on React for the front-end and Node.js for the server side. I need an experienced full-stack developer who can take the project from wireframes to a production-ready deployment, setting up clean RESTful (or GraphQL, if you feel it’s a better fit) endpoints, a responsive React interface, and the usual testing, linting, and CI basics.

You’ll receive high-level feature notes and UI mock-ups; your job is to translate them into well-structured code, hook up the front-end to the Node.js API, and push a working version to a repo where I can review progress. Clean component architecture, reusable hooks, and thoughtful state management are important to me on the React side, while modular routing, secure auth, and clear service layers matter on the Node.js side.

Deliverables (at minimum):
• Git repository with readable, commented source code
• Running dev environment setup scripts
• Deployed staging build I can test in the browser
• Brief README covering install, build, and deploy steps

Quality bar: the app should run locally with a single command, pass unit/integration tests, and deploy without manual tweaks. If this matches your skills, I’m ready to share the first feature set and timelines.
