## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m seeking backend and full-stack roles.
```

## About

```text
At Jefferies, I designed GraphQL schemas for a corporate access events platform and a deal management tool. I also built a Kafka consumer that streamed relevant event updates into the deal tool and delivered them through filtered GraphQL subscriptions.

I overhauled an inherited executive reporting portal across frontend and backend, shipping the Banker Dashboard and an entitlements system across about 30 dashboards. Usage grew from a handful of senior bankers to 1,000+ users, and I built an admin impersonation tool with audit tracing.

I also migrated a production NestJS service to Java Spring Boot without downtime, and shipped Angular and Spring Boot features from Figma designs. Earlier, at Magentiq Eye, I created an IT automation tool for clinical-trial data with an Angular frontend and Python backend; I’m seeking backend and full-stack roles.
