What I'm looking for

I seek a role building cloud‑native web applications with opportunities for end‑to‑end ownership, real‑time systems work, mentorship, and measurable impact on product reliability and user engagement.

I am a full‑stack developer who builds scalable, performant web applications with a focus on backend architecture, real‑time features, and cloud deployment. I have delivered REST and GraphQL APIs, integrated payments and media services, and implemented real‑time messaging to improve reliability and user engagement.

My projects demonstrate measurable impact—reduced latency, higher user engagement, and improved uptime—while my internships and hackathon experience showcase practical delivery and collaborative open‑source contributions. I bring strong algorithmic fundamentals and a proven record of building end‑to‑end systems from prototype to production.
