Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years building SaaS products in cybersecurity, fintech, and e-commerce
What I'm looking for
Most recently, at ShelterZoom, I owned architecture decisions that affected the whole org, set engineering standards, and kept design, product, and backend moving in the same direction. Over the past 3 years I expanded from frontend ownership into full-stack delivery: building backend services in Python (FastAPI) and PostgreSQL, containerizing with Docker and Kubernetes, and decoupling processing pipelines with RabbitMQ.
I shipped an LLM-powered code review assistant to production, built on the Anthropic API and embedded in GitHub Actions CI — compressing the automated feedback cycle from 2–4 hours to under 5 minutes per PR, and bringing TypeScript static analysis coverage across a Turborepo monorepo from 0% to 100%.
Over 5 years at ShelterZoom — an enterprise cybersecurity SaaS with real-time collaboration, document workflows, and e-signatures — I grew from Senior Engineer into Tech Lead, leading a 5-engineer team for the last 3. I drove the full migration from a monolithic frontend to a Turborepo monorepo, moved the team to weekly releases, and cut page load times by 35%.
What I'm good at: owning architecture end-to-end across frontend and backend, growing engineering teams and raising their bar, and turning a vague product brief into something scalable, secure, and performant.
Core stack:
— Frontend & Architecture: React, Next.js (App Router, SSR/RSC/SSG), TypeScript, Monorepo (Nx/Turborepo), Feature-Sliced Design, Component-Driven Development
— Backend & Infra: Python, FastAPI, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, CI/CD
— State & Data: Redux Toolkit, TanStack Query, react-hook-form, Zod
— AI Integration: LLM APIs (Anthropic)
— Quality: Jest, Playwright, Cypress, Sentry
— Leadership: Mentoring, code review standards, technical onboarding, interview panels
Open to remote Senior Software Engineer, Staff / Principal Engineer, Tech Lead, and Architect roles in cybersecurity, fintech, and e-commerce. If you're building something where architecture — frontend or backend — is a product lever and not just a styling layer, let's talk.
