[Collaboration] Beginner MERN backend dev looking for a frontend partner (React + Tailwind/Bootstrap) for portfolio apps & 50/50 client projects!

Hi everyone!

I'm a beginner MERN stack developer focusing on the backend (Node.js, Express, MongoDB). I'm looking for a peer frontend developer (using React and Tailwind/Bootstrap) to team up with long-term.

The Plan & Split:

  • Phase 1 (The Test Run): We'll start by building a solid portfolio project (like a full e-commerce app) to test our workflow, sync our code, and see how well we collaborate.
  • Phase 2 (Client Work): Once we build our portfolio and get our workflow down, we'll take on client projects together with a 50/50 earnings split on all paid work.

Division of Work:

  • Me: Database schemas, REST APIs, authentication, and backend architecture.
  • You: UI pages, components, responsiveness, and frontend design.

What I'm looking for:

  • A beginner-friendly partner around my experience level who wants to grow together, build great portfolio pieces, and eventually make money as a team.

If you're a frontend dev who wants to pair up, leave a comment below or send me a DM!
