What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native, scalable systems with strong CI/CD, test-driven practices, collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and measurable performance and reliability improvements.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 11 years of experience designing, developing, and deploying high-performance web and enterprise applications, specializing in the MERN stack, JavaScript ecosystems, and enterprise backend systems using Node.js and C# ASP.NET Core.

I drive cloud-native architecture and CI/CD adoption across AWS and Azure, improve performance and accessibility, mentor junior engineers, and deliver measurable results—reducing load times, deployment time, and post-release defects while building scalable, test-driven systems.
