What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning, where I can contribute to impactful projects and mentor others.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience in building and delivering scalable, high-performance applications that drive measurable business impact. My expertise lies in creating responsive UIs and robust backend systems for real-time, data-driven platforms used by thousands. I specialize in transforming complex requirements into clean, efficient, and maintainable code, always with a focus on usability and performance.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to ship impactful features while mentoring junior developers to elevate team standards. I am passionate about clean architecture, system design, and continuous improvement across the stack. My recent role at Chewy involved developing key features for a high-traffic e-commerce platform, where I significantly improved usability and customer engagement metrics.
