What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and ship production full-stack products in a team that values clean architecture, robust CI/CD, and practical AI features—while owning microservices, REST APIs, and cloud deployments end to end.

I’m a recent Software Engineering graduate and freelance Full-Stack Developer who enjoys architecting enterprise-scale, cloud-native systems. I focus on designing microservices and RESTful APIs that are dependable in real-world deployments.

In my freelance work, I’ve led end-to-end development—owning API documentation, Agile sprint tracking, and automated CI/CD—while collaborating directly with international clients in remote environments. I’ve also built and migrated production features, including structural database migrations from legacy MSSQL to PostgreSQL.

My technical edge is blending strong engineering fundamentals with AI-integrated workflows. Across projects, I’ve implemented agentic AI workflows for risk assessments and proctoring, and I’ve used secure authentication patterns and event-driven architecture (Kafka/JMS/gRPC) to keep systems decoupled and scalable.

I also contribute to open-source by fixing real CI reliability and runtime stability issues. I’m energized by shipping measurable improvements, improving developer experience through tests and pipelines, and building systems that hold up under pressure.
