What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build intelligent full-stack products—own architecture, ship APIs/ERP in cloud environments, and apply LLMs/vector search to solve real business problems with a collaborative, high-impact team.

I’m a Full-Stack & AI Software Engineer with 5+ years’ experience delivering scalable ERP, API, and cloud-native solutions. I focus on outcomes—cutting response times by 40%, improving operational efficiency, and helping teams ship reliable enterprise-grade systems.

I build with Laravel, Node.js, Express, and modern frontends like React and Vue, and I design services around REST and GraphQL. On the platform side, I work across AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) to keep deployments fast and dependable.

I also bring AI/LLM capability into production. With LangChain, OpenAI API, and vector search, I help teams turn data into intelligent retrieval and practical chatbot experiences—often using microservices patterns and vector databases to deliver measurable value.

Across roles, I’ve led architecture decisions and mentoring, built ERP modules for 200+ SMEs, and scaled backend services to support 10K+ transactions/month. I enjoy partnering with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions—then iterating until performance, UX, and security hit the target.
