What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can design scalable systems, improve observability and security, mentor engineers, and deliver reliable cloud-native applications in agile teams.

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with 7+ years building scalable, customer-facing web applications using modern frontend frameworks and diverse backend technologies. I focus on pragmatic system design, observability, security, and reliable delivery across cloud-native stacks.

I have led full stack work with React, Next.js, Vue and Java/Python/Node.js backends, drove microservices and event-driven patterns, improved performance with caching and DB tuning, and elevated CI/CD and monitoring practices while mentoring engineers and authoring architectural decisions.
