What I'm looking for

I seek a senior full-stack role in an agile team where I can lead technical projects, mentor developers, implement CI/CD and cloud-native solutions, and improve performance and user experience.

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with over eight years building and optimizing full stack applications using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Angular, Node.js, PHP and MySQL. I design scalable architectures, build RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and implement cloud-based solutions.

At Blitz MobileApps and prior roles I led migrations to MERN stack architectures, deployed containerized workloads with Docker and Kubernetes, and implemented CI/CD pipelines to streamline delivery. I improved application performance through MongoDB aggregation and indexing, Redis caching, and monitoring with New Relic and Datadog. I also champion testing with Jest, Cypress and PHPUnit to maintain code quality.

I mentor developers, lead code reviews, and collaborate closely with product teams to deliver user-centric features. I am passionate about solving complex challenges and delivering maintainable, modular code that scales.
