What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level engineering role where I can build secure, high-performance systems, contribute to cross-functional teams, and grow into technical leadership.

I am a full-stack developer with 3+ years building scalable applications and automation tools across React, Node.js, Python, and Java (Spring Boot), focused on performance, security, and maintainability.

I have delivered high-impact features in SaaS and fintech environments: designing secure Zendesk integrations, optimizing high-traffic SQL queries to cut API responses from minutes to under a second, and modernizing legacy systems with parameterized queries and async workers.

I lead cross-functional efforts including bug triage, sprint planning, and security reviews, and I build practical developer solutions—dashboards, automation scripts, and merchant portals—that reduce operational overhead and improve service resilience.
