What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-moving, high-autonomy team where I can own backend/API and full-stack delivery end-to-end—spec-driven and AI-accelerated—while maintaining rigorous reviews, production support, and on-call incident response.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing, modernizing, testing, deploying, and operating scalable web applications, backend services, API platforms, and internal tools for high-traffic products. I bring strong full-stack expertise across JavaScript, TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node.js, Java/Spring Boot, and Python, with hands-on AWS experience (including EC2) and CI/CD automation using GitHub Actions.

I’m also an AI-native engineer who uses Claude and ChatGPT to accelerate spec-driven development—parallel implementation, incident debugging, legacy-code refactoring, unit-test creation, architecture analysis, documentation, and delivery—while keeping rigorous review standards. I thrive in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments with end-to-end ownership, production support, and on-call incident-response responsibilities.
