What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead full‑stack development, architect scalable systems, integrate AI, and improve team delivery and performance.

I am a Staff Engineer with 14 years of experience designing, developing, and scaling high-performance web applications across fintech and software consulting. I build pixel-perfect UIs with React/Angular, architect Java and Python microservices, integrate AI models, and optimize DevOps workflows to improve performance and deployment speed.

I have led cross-functional Agile teams, reduced load times and latency through targeted optimizations, migrated legacy databases to scalable solutions, and created documentation and onboarding materials that accelerate team ramp-up. My work at PayPal and other firms delivered measurable improvements in engagement, speed, reliability, and developer productivity.
