United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Development Engineer with 8+ years building scalable web and mobile applications across e-commerce, fintech, and social platforms.
I design and maintain high-traffic backend services in Go and Python, optimize RESTful APIs and databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL), and modernize legacy systems to cloud-native architectures on AWS and Google Cloud.
I build full-stack features with React/React Native, Next.js/Nuxt.js, Node.js/Express and mobile apps in Swift and Kotlin, improving performance and SEO — reducing LCP from ~4.5s to ~2s and raising Core Web Vitals pass rate from ~55% to ~90%.
I also work in AI/ML (TensorFlow, PyTorch, SageMaker), blockchain and smart contracts (Solidity, Web3.js), mentor engineers, lead architecture decisions, and deliver production-ready solutions that align technical and business goals.
