Senior full-stack software engineer with 7+ years building production web and mobile apps with AI-powered RAG features.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior full-stack software engineer with 7+ years shipping production web and mobile applications for international clients. I take ownership of architecture and release quality, building reliable experiences with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Nest.js.
At RemoteX Tech, I led full-stack delivery for international clients and architected a shared component and design-system library that cut feature-development time by 30% while standardizing UI consistency. I also mentored junior engineers across React, REST API design, and testing, raising code-review pass rate and shortening onboarding. I shipped AI-powered features—prompt engineering, streaming responses, and tool calling—integrating OpenAI and Claude, and delivered cross-platform mobile apps with React Native and Expo from a single codebase.
My work also focuses on practical AI systems in production. I engineered a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system in Python and Ollama (embeddings, vector store, tuned retrieval), lifting document-grounded answer accuracy by 25%, and integrated external knowledge with chunking and re-ranking to cut query resolution time by 25%. I tuned the real-time query pipeline using caching, batching, and async I/O to improve latency and throughput under production load.
