What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role building scalable, well-documented APIs and SEO-optimized web apps, with opportunities for technical leadership and impact.

I am a results-oriented full-stack software engineer with strong expertise across frontend and backend technologies, building scalable, SEO-friendly web applications from the ground up.

I design and implement RESTful and event-driven APIs, optimize frontend load times, and apply server-side rendering, accessibility, and SEO best practices to deliver production-grade solutions.

I have led integrations with payment providers, improved service scalability using design patterns like Adapter, and built admin dashboards and dynamic UIs without designers, contributing measurable improvements in performance and testing.

I collaborate closely with product managers and teams using Git, Jira, and Azure DevOps, documenting APIs with Swagger/Postman, and I continually focus on fast delivery, maintainability, and improving developer workflows.
