What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, high-performance web platforms where I can lead architecture, improve developer velocity, and deliver measurable user-facing improvements.

I am a Full Stack Developer with 9+ years building scalable web applications across SaaS, cloud systems, and enterprise platforms. I specialize in Go backends, microservices, real-time data pipelines, and rich frontends using React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Angular.

I have designed highly concurrent Go services, integrated telemetry pipelines, and delivered production-grade frontends that prioritize performance and developer velocity. I drive engineering best practices, CI/CD automation, container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes, and database optimization strategies.

I collaborate closely with product and design teams, mentor engineers, and focus on clean architecture, security, and measurable performance gains to deliver reliable, user-centric systems at scale.
