What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior full-stack roles where I can build scalable web and mobile products, mentor teams, work in Agile environments, and use modern cloud-native stacks and APIs.

I am a senior full-stack developer with 10 years of experience building web and mobile applications across finance, healthcare, education, and e-commerce.

I specialize in JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems (React, Vue, Next), backend frameworks (Django, Spring Boot, Laravel, ASP.NET) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and I enjoy integrating APIs and payment systems like Stripe and PayPal.

As a technical lead I have directed cross-functional teams, reviewed PRs, mentored junior developers, helped maintain a 95% sprint completion rate, and contributed to a 20% decrease in bug-fix times.

I build production-grade, secure systems—integrating OpenAI, CI/CD, and role-based auth—and I seek opportunities to mentor, drive product-focused engineering, and deliver scalable, user-centered software.
