I’m senior full-stack engineer building scalable fintech web platforms with Node.js and React.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer and technical leader with 5+ years building fintech and enterprise-grade web applications. I focus on backend development with Node.js and TypeScript, paired with solid React and Next.js experience on the frontend. I design scalable microservices architectures supporting thousands of concurrent transactions in production fintech systems, using both SQL and NoSQL (including PostgreSQL and Supabase).
I bring strong cloud and delivery fundamentals across AWS and Microsoft Azure, with Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, plus containerization and orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes. I’ve led cross-functional engineering teams and made architectural decisions that reduce time-to-market, define engineering standards, and improve code quality through mentoring and code review. I also integrate agentic AI development workflows (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and the OpenAI API) to automate repetitive tasks and accelerate feature delivery—whether migrating legacy systems with zero-downtime patterns or building BNPL and loan origination platforms that reached over USD $1M in sales.
