What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on senior engineering role where I can lead frontend/backend architecture, drive performance and CI/CD best practices, mentor teams, and deliver scalable user-focused products in an agile, collaborative environment.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer and Team Lead with 5+ years building scalable web applications using the MERN stack, cloud services, and CI/CD pipelines. I have led high-impact projects — including a property management platform serving 10,000+ users and an AI-integrated music streaming service — and consistently improved performance and deployment speed.

I combine frontend architecture, performance optimization, and backend microservices design with hands-on leadership and mentoring. I deliver robust, tested solutions using React, Node.js, TypeScript, MongoDB, AWS, and automated pipelines, and I focus on measurable impact such as reduced load times, faster deployments, and increased user engagement.
