Full-Stack Developer specializing in Next.js, NestJS, TypeScript and GCP, shipping production web and mobile apps.
What I'm looking for
I am a Full-Stack Developer with hands-on experience architecting and deploying production-grade applications using Next.js, NestJS, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL on Google Cloud. I own features end-to-end—from product discovery and API design to implementation and deployment—especially in mobility and delivery platforms.
At my current role I solely designed, built, and deployed a production delivery and e-commerce web application on GCP and I am developing a cross-platform mobile app with Expo (React Native). I am known for shipping quickly, solving ambiguous problems, and improving operational workflows through real-time features.
I bring teaching experience from a JavaScript/React bootcamp, an academic background including an MBA, and growing capabilities in AI-driven applications and cross-platform development. I am actively transitioning back to the U.S. and am fully authorized to work there without visa constraints.
