What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-focused team where I can ship customer-facing features and REST APIs with strong contracts, validation, and testing—especially performance-sensitive, data-driven workflows. I thrive in cross-functional delivery and clear ownership.

I’m a product-minded full stack software engineer building web applications end-to-end—customer-facing interfaces, REST APIs, and data-intensive workflows—using TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I focus on delivering tested production features in cross-functional product teams.

At Voja Travel, I built and maintained a React and TypeScript supplier platform for rates, availability, bookings, communication, and self-billing, while designing backend workflows and PostgreSQL models for occupancy rules and time-based discounts. I also implemented Redis-backed availability updates with optimistic locking for low-latency feedback and booking/financial consistency, and added reusable UI components, API-boundary validation, retry/failure states, logging, and Jest tests. Previously at WeTravel, I developed Node.js REST APIs, redesigned a revenue-critical pricing page with React, and shipped a guided onboarding tour in collaboration with product and marketing; earlier, I built small web apps and REST API integrations as a freelance web developer. I’m energized by turning product and design requirements into clear contracts, responsive experiences, and reliable delivery pipelines.
