What I'm looking for

I seek a product-focused engineering role where I can build scalable, secure systems, mentor teams, work with cloud and web3 technologies, and drive measurable user and business impact.

I am a Fullstack Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, secure, high-performance web and mobile applications using React, TypeScript, Prisma, and Node.js. I have delivered production microservices and RESTful APIs, integrated cloud infrastructure on GCP and Vercel, and optimized systems to support millions of monthly data requests.

As a product-focused engineer and team lead, I have driven redesigns and feature deliveries that improved visualization performance, reduced API latency, and increased external integrations by 30% year-over-year. I have also led frontend best practices, automated testing, and CI/CD improvements that cut processing errors and onboarding drop-off rates significantly.

I am passionate about web3 and blockchain, with experience in smart contracts and the Ethereum ecosystem, and I enjoy building decentralized self-custody applications that scale globally and improve livelihoods. I bring a user-centered design approach from my work as a design lead and founder, focusing on UX improvements and measurable product outcomes.
