Full-Stack Developer with 1.5 years of experience building scalable, secure web applications using React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. Skilled in REST APIs, backend architecture, authentication (JWT/JWE), and modern frontend tools. Proven ability to enhance system efficiency, SEO, and user experience.
Traditionally, JavaScript was interpreted line-by-line by browsers, making it super flexible and dynamic.
But modern JS engines, like V8, now use JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation, combining the best of both worlds - speed and flexibility!
So yeah, JS started as interpreted, but now it’s turbocharged!
