What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my full stack expertise to create impactful web applications.

As a Senior Full Stack Developer with 9 years of experience, I specialize in the MERN stack and have a passion for creating scalable, high-performance web applications. My expertise spans both frontend and backend technologies, allowing me to drive the full development lifecycle from requirements gathering to deployment. I emphasize clean and efficient code, ensuring that the applications I develop deliver exceptional user experiences.

In my current role at Merck & Co., I have architected and developed high-performance web applications, optimized REST APIs, and integrated third-party services. I take pride in collaborating closely with design teams to create responsive user interfaces and managing MongoDB database schemas to enhance application performance. My commitment to quality is reflected in my leadership of team-wide initiatives to implement unit and integration tests, as well as my mentorship of junior developers.
