Senior Full-Stack Engineer modernizing systems into cloud-native, AI-enabled solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with over 15 years of experience modernizing legacy systems into high-performance, cloud-native solutions. I specialize in backend development across .NET, Java, Golang, PHP, and Node.js, and build modern frontends with React, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte, and TypeScript.
I've architected scalable microservices on Azure and AWS, implemented CI/CD with Terraform and Azure DevOps, and delivered production AI integrations including RAG systems with LangChain and Azure OpenAI. My work on computer vision (TensorFlow/CNN) and knowledge graphs (Neo4j) produced measurable gains in accuracy and search relevance.
I design and implement secure, high-availability systems—RESTful APIs, gRPC services, payment integrations, and HIPAA-compliant healthcare platforms—optimizing performance and reliability for millions of records and high daily user counts. I also lead cross-platform mobile development using React Native, Flutter, and native Android.
I hold Azure Developer Associate (AZ-204) certification and advanced coursework in AI and cloud development, and I bring a pragmatic, results-driven approach to building resilient, observable systems that reduce costs, improve performance, and accelerate time-to-value.
