What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on senior/lead role building AI-enabled, cloud-native SaaS products where I can own architecture, mentor engineers, and drive measurable customer impact.

I am a seasoned Principal Software Engineer and full-stack developer with over 10 years of experience building AI-driven SaaS platforms and enterprise web applications. I take full ownership from concept to production and deliver measurable business value.

My expertise spans Next.js, React, TypeScript, Angular, Python (FastAPI/Django/Flask), Node.js, and .NET, with an emphasis on building secure REST and GraphQL APIs, modular microservices, and performant UIs optimized for SEO and mobile.

I architect scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS/Postgres, S3, CloudFront, IAM), implement CI/CD pipelines, observability (CloudWatch, Grafana), and cost optimizations that reduced infrastructure spend by 20%.

I mentor teams, lead cross-functional technical discussions, drive test-driven development, and integrate AI workflows and analytics to enhance product capabilities and customer success.
