What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build scalable full-stack products—React/Ruby on Rails on AWS—using event-driven systems and AI where it adds measurable value. I’m best in roles that value reliability, cost optimization, mentorship, and clear operational ownership.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable web, mobile, and AI-powered applications across SaaS, insurance, health-tech, and consumer platforms. I’m experienced in React, Ruby on Rails, AWS, distributed systems, and cloud-native architectures, and I focus on delivering full-stack solutions that hold up under real scale.

I’ve led large-scale infrastructure and database migrations, integrated AI capabilities, and optimized platform performance in high-growth environments. From event-driven microservices with AWS Lambda/SQS/SNS to semantic search with pgvector and conversational analytics with OpenAI/Claude, I build systems that improve reliability, reduce costs, and make features easier to use and maintain.
