What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my full-stack expertise to drive impactful projects and mentor others.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 11 years of experience building web, mobile, and cloud applications across various industries, including healthcare, aviation, and e-commerce. My expertise spans frontend and backend development, AI/ML, and real-time data systems, with a strong focus on AWS. I thrive in collaborative environments, leading projects and mentoring teammates to deliver reliable, scalable products.

At Amazon, I contributed to high-scale systems for Amazon Clinic and logistics platforms, supporting millions of users. I built customer-facing applications using React.js and Node.js, designed microservices in multiple languages, and developed real-time data ingestion pipelines. My work has significantly improved application performance and responsiveness, while ensuring compliance with industry standards.

Previously, at FlightAware, I developed mission-critical systems for aviation data processing and visualization. I engineered high-throughput data pipelines and built real-time flight visualization interfaces, enhancing operational capabilities for airlines and government agencies. My passion for technology and commitment to excellence drive my continuous pursuit of innovative solutions.
