Self-taught senior full-stack developer focused on media systems, APIs, and cloud services.
What I'm looking for
I am a self-taught senior full-stack developer with extensive experience across finance, justice, education, consulting and media domains. I have led development of media services, transcoding APIs and internal tools, improving QC throughput, enabling new revenue streams, and delivering scalable cloud-based solutions using .NET, Node, React and AWS/Azure.
I thrive on challenges and learning outside my comfort zone, enjoy ownership of complex problems, and have experience mentoring teammates, architecting solutions, and driving production-ready CI/CD and testing practices. My work balances technical depth in backend/cloud systems with practical front-end and tooling experience to make systems reliable and easy to operate.
