What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building data-intensive, real-time web applications with strong cross-team collaboration, CI/CD, and opportunities to integrate AI/ML.

I am a results-driven Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience building scalable, real-time web applications and data visualizations for large enterprises.

I have designed and implemented high-performance solutions using JavaScript/TypeScript, React.js, Next.js, Redux Toolkit, Node/Express, Python frameworks (Django, FastAPI), and a variety of relational and NoSQL databases.

My recent work includes leading development of a data-heavy stock loan application with WebSocket real-time updates, AG-Grid server-side models, LLM integrations for natural language queries, and optimized Next.js rendering strategies across DEV, UAT, and Production.

I excel at performance optimization, building reusable components, integrating analytics and payment workflows, and collaborating across teams using Agile/Scrum to deliver secure, production-ready software.
