What I'm looking for

I seek roles building secure, scalable digital systems (APIs, banking) with collaborative teams, clear SLAs, mentorship opportunities, and strong emphasis on compliance and production-grade delivery.

I am a Full Stack Software Engineer with hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying scalable web applications and RESTful APIs using Python, JavaScript, Flask, Django, React, and Node.js. I bridge technical implementation with business requirements to deliver secure, high-availability systems aligned with regulatory and governance standards.

I've architected and implemented end-to-end solutions—from responsive front ends to robust back-end services—working with relational and NoSQL databases such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and applying OAuth/JWT authentication for role-based access control. I contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and maintain audit-ready technical documentation in compliance-conscious environments.

My professional experience spans contract and remote roles where I delivered production deployments, optimized backend performance, and drove quality and operational improvements in SLA-driven settings. I am collaborative, metrics-focused, eager to mentor junior engineers, and immediately available for on-site, hybrid, or remote opportunities.
