Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in scalable web, mobile, and cloud systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 11 years building web, mobile, and cloud applications across legal tech, healthcare, aviation, and e-commerce. I deliver reliable, scalable products and often lead projects, mentor teammates, and own on-call responsibilities.
At companies like RocketLawyer, Amazon, and FlightAware I have built Next.js and React frontends, microservices in Java/Python/Go/C#, data pipelines with Kafka/Kinesis and ML solutions using SageMaker, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. I focus on performance, observability, security, and accessibility while improving deployment velocity via CI/CD and automation.
I enjoy solving real-time data and telemetry challenges, integrating IoT and robotics sensors, and producing production-grade systems on AWS. I seek opportunities to build customer-facing, high-scale products while mentoring engineers and contributing to cross-functional teams.
