Senior Full Stack Developer specializing in scalable, secure web applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with 10+ years building scalable, end-to-end web applications across healthcare, finance, and SaaS. I design responsive frontends and robust backends, and I focus on performance, security, and user-centric solutions.
At Gearheart I led development of a HIPAA-compliant healthcare document platform serving 50K daily users, implemented JWT/OAuth2 access control, built real-time features with Socket.io, and created Python FastAPI microservices for document processing. I reduced load times, mentored an 8-person team, and migrated legacy systems to modern stacks.
I have delivered high-performance tracking systems, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, real-time analytics, and optimized database and backend architectures to improve latency and throughput. I adopt CI/CD, cloud-native deployment patterns, and practical security practices to reliably take products from concept to production.
