What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused team where I can build scalable full-stack systems, own real outcomes (performance, reliability, observability), and ship maintainable code that solves real customer and operational problems.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Software Developer with more than 6 years of experience building scalable web applications for product-focused companies. I’m passionate about writing simple, maintainable code and solving real-world problems that improve everyday operations.

At IziSafety (Remote), I eliminated a $900/month SaaS dependency by building an in-house platform, digitized the end-to-end HSE workflow (creation → approval → signature), and introduced system-wide observability with structured logging and Grafana dashboards. Previously at Plogg (Remote), I improved API response times by 35%, automated customer SMS workﬂows, embedded calling capabilities to remove external tools, and built/scaled a SaaS backend integrating payments, messaging, and cloud services with real-time features like chat and live updates.
