What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior/lead engineering roles where I can architect scalable full-stack systems, mentor teams, apply modern DevOps and CI/CD practices, and build AI-enabled SaaS products in an engineering-driven, collaborative environment.

I am a Principal/Senior full-stack engineer with over 10 years designing and delivering AI-driven SaaS platforms and enterprise web applications. I specialize in Next.js, React and TypeScript on the frontend and Python (FastAPI) with PostgreSQL on the backend, and I architect scalable cloud deployments using AWS services like ECS Fargate, S3 and CloudFront.

I have led architecture and engineering efforts end-to-end—building CI/CD pipelines, observability, microservices, and high-performance data models—mentoring teams and reducing infrastructure costs through optimization while driving test-driven development and strong typing practices.
