What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior Full Stack role where I can build scalable SaaS with strong backend architecture and AI/LLM capabilities on AWS—owning microservices, CI/CD, and performance improvements while shipping reliably to real users.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 7 years of experience building scalable SaaS platforms across fintech, healthcare, and AI-driven products. I deliver full-stack solutions that connect modern frontend UX with high-performance backend systems.

Most recently, I built AI-powered SaaS applications with React, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS—supporting 10K daily users. I developed scalable microservices and REST APIs for LLM workflows, RAG pipelines, and real-time data processing.

I modernized legacy platforms into Dockerized microservices on AWS ECS, cutting deployment time by more than 50%. I improved application performance by 40% using Redis caching, asynchronous processing, and database optimization, and I automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and Jenkins to accelerate releases.
