What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable systems, improve reliability and performance, mentor engineers, and work in collaborative teams that value measurable impact and technical excellence.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable backend and frontend systems for large-scale applications, including roles at Google and Power Consulting. I specialize in Node.js, TypeScript, Next.js, SQL databases, and cloud services, and I focus on delivering high-performance APIs, improving application performance, and maintaining high availability for production systems.

I have led feature design and CI/CD improvements that reduced deployment times and bug rates, implemented monitoring and serverless architectures to ensure uptime, and mentored teams while collaborating cross-functionally to meet client and operational needs. My work has produced measurable gains in engagement, performance, and cost optimization.
