What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead and mentor, drive clean architecture and product delivery, work across full-stack systems, and improve engineering practices and metrics.

I am a senior full-stack software engineer with 12 years of experience building systems to solve business problems, mainly using the JavaScript ecosystem. I deliver solutions from scratch and dive into existing codebases of any quality with a strong focus on shipping.

I have a passion for clean architecture, software engineering practices and patterns, continuous self-education, and mentoring others. My work spans frontend and backend technologies, CI/CD improvements, and performance optimizations.

I have led teams and shipped measurable product improvements — from increasing conversion rates for financial product flows to replacing spreadsheet workflows with robust tooling and improving UI performance by orders of magnitude.

I value pragmatic engineering, strong testing and API-first design, and building repeatable, documented processes that reduce defects and accelerate integrations.
