Senior full-stack engineer building secure, scalable web platforms with JavaScript and AWS.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 9 years of experience building, scaling, and maintaining complex web platforms across FinTech, AI-driven products, and enterprise systems. I own features end-to-end—translating ambiguous requirements into reliable, secure, and scalable solutions—while collaborating closely with product, design, and stakeholders.
My hands-on focus is JavaScript across frontend and backend, modern frontend frameworks, and AWS-based serverless architectures. In production roles, I’ve architected event-driven systems with AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, EventBridge, and SQS, improved observability and CI/CD, and integrated AI-assisted development tools (like Cursor and Amazon Q) to accelerate delivery in remote-first environments.
