Next JS + Express + Mongo + AI stack

πŸ‘¨πŸ’» My Daily Tech Stack as a Frontend Engineer

Every day when I sit down to code, I love having a toolkit that feels reliable, efficient, and flexible. Over time, I’ve curated a stack that helps me build everything from small utilities to full-scale applications.

Here’s what my day-to-day stack looks like:

⚑ Frontend essentials

  • Next.js (with TypeScript) β†’ My foundation for building fast, scalable, and SEO-friendly apps
  • Zustand β†’ Simple and effective state management without the boilerplate
  • React Hook Form β†’ Smooth form handling
  • Zod β†’ Clean validation and error handling
  • Tailwind CSS β†’ Styling at speed
  • Shadcn/UI β†’ Ready-to-use yet customizable components
  • Lucide React β†’ Crisp icons that just fit in any design

πŸ”— Backend & Data

  • Node.js + Express β†’ For building APIs when I need flexibility
  • MongoDB β†’ My go-to database for quick prototyping and scaling

🎯 Extras I use often

  • NextAuth.js β†’ Plug-and-play authentication (Google, GitHub, etc.)
  • React Markdown β†’ For rendering content-rich UIs
  • Recharts β†’ Visualizing data with clean charts
  • Gemini AI API β†’ Bringing AI into apps is something I’ve been really enjoying lately πŸš€

This stack has become second nature to me β€” I use it almost daily in my projects, and it helps me move fast while keeping things maintainable.

πŸ‘‰ I’m curious, what’s that one tool in your stack you can’t imagine coding without?

✨ Always excited to connect and collaborate on projects using this stack β€” feel free to reach out!
