Staff Engineer specializing in scalable web architectures, team leadership, and full‑stack development.
What I'm looking for
I am a Staff/Principal‑level software engineer with extensive experience leading teams, designing software architecture, and delivering large enterprise migrations to Next.js/AWS that produced multimillion‑dollar cost reductions.
I build and maintain end‑to‑end systems: microservice backends with Node.js (Express, Fastify, Nest), frontend applications with React/Next.js, GraphQL integrations, and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab/GH Actions). I also have blockchain experience—smart contracts, multi‑signature wallets, and Web3 allowlists.
I mentor and scale engineering teams, conduct technical interviews, and translate complex technical decisions into clear business value for stakeholders while representing projects at conferences and community events.
