What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can own end-to-end features, work cross-functionally, and scale consumer products using modern full-stack technologies and cloud infrastructure.

I am a senior full-stack engineer with 7+ years building consumer-facing digital products at Nike and in startup environments, specializing in React, Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, and GCP. I focus on fast-paced, user-driven development and delivering measurable impact through scalable architecture and feature work across frontend and backend stacks.

My recent work includes leading Nike Fit integrations—building recommendation APIs, consumer and admin interfaces, high-throughput data sync services, and multi-region deployments—plus end-to-end feature ownership at a retail SaaS startup where I redesigned dashboards, reporting, and migration tooling to improve reliability and user outcomes.
