What I'm looking for

I'm looking for senior web development, full-stack, frontend, backend, web architecture, technical lead, or web consulting work, with remote, hybrid, or onsite opportunities.

At Toptal, I've built enterprise-scale web applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript, supporting millions of monthly API requests. I improved application performance by 45%, increased API response speed by 35%, and reduced deployment time from two hours to 15 minutes.

I've designed AWS infrastructure across EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, and ECS, led a monolith-to-microservices migration, and implemented CI/CD with GitHub Actions and Docker. I also mentor junior engineers through code reviews and technical coaching.

Previously at Imaginovation, I built responsive React and Node.js applications, secure role-based access systems, payment integrations, and automated tests. My work included an e-commerce platform serving more than 500,000 users and reducing application bugs by 40% through automated testing.

I'm motivated by secure, high-performance user experiences, practical architecture, and delivering production features ahead of schedule.
