What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can build AI-driven, scalable products, improve performance and CI/CD, mentor teams, and drive measurable business outcomes.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 10+ years building AI/ML-powered applications and scalable cloud-native systems. I specialize in React (TypeScript), Node.js, GraphQL, Python and architecting performant, production-ready platforms.

At SyenApp I engineered features for an e-commerce platform with 100K+ monthly active users, improving checkout completion by 25% and integrating ML recommendation models that increased CTR by 28%. I optimized APIs and databases to cut response and query times by 30–40% and drove SEO and SSR improvements that boosted organic traffic substantially.

Previously at Apple and WiseTech Global I accelerated ML model iteration cycles, unified GraphQL services, and migrated monoliths to microservices—achieving large gains in engineering velocity, reliability, and performance. I also built reusable component libraries, improved test automation coverage, and hardened CI/CD workflows.

I seek to deliver measurable business impact through AI-driven personalization, robust architecture, and automated delivery practices, while mentoring teams and continuously improving system reliability and scalability.
