What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can leverage my full-stack expertise, collaborate with innovative teams, and contribute to impactful projects that drive technology forward.

I'm a seasoned MERN Stack Engineer with a decade of experience in designing and building scalable, secure web applications. My expertise lies in utilizing React, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB to create robust solutions. I excel in developing RESTful and GraphQL APIs, implementing effective authentication methods, and delivering high-performance, responsive user interfaces. My proficiency extends to Python for automation and scripting, along with experience in modern frameworks like Vue.js and Angular.

Throughout my career, I've successfully led projects that enhance operational efficiency and user experience. At Astro Sirens LLC, I architected backend services for processing 3D point cloud models, significantly improving data retrieval times and frontend performance. My role as a Tech Lead involved mentoring a small team, managing Agile processes, and implementing CI/CD practices to streamline development. I thrive in collaborative environments, always focusing on performance optimization and problem-solving.

My journey has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including cloud infrastructure management with AWS and Azure, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and a strong foundation in Agile methodologies. I am passionate about continuous learning and adapting to new challenges, ensuring that I remain at the forefront of technology trends.
