What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build impactful full-stack products, lead delivery with strong engineering standards, and apply AI/LLMs where it improves engagement and retention—working with teams that value performance, testing, and transparent Agile execution.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who ships end-to-end products across React, TypeScript, GraphQL, and NestJS. After delivering 7+ full-stack projects, I was promoted to Senior Full Stack within 3 years—driving $300K+ in enterprise revenue.

I lead engineering execution with strong quality and speed: I’ve managed a 5-person team, set CI/CD and code review standards, and increased delivery velocity by 40%. I’ve also architected and shipped a Shopify AI voice SaaS using LLMs and optimized Next.js performance (90% improvement in page load) while improving SEO and Lighthouse scores, plus automated testing pipelines to reduce bugs by 25%.
