What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead full-stack development, drive scalable API-first architectures, mentor teams, and deliver measurable product improvements in collaborative, product-focused environments.

I lead complex projects from concept through execution, introduce DevOps practices, mentor engineers, and align development with business goals.

Notable achievements include leading the Emerson platform revamp with Stripe KYC integration and Cypress testing, designing OLX Mall's logistics system and state machine, and delivering mobile and web products like FoodKarma and ME Hotel’s Android TV app that improved conversion, usability, and operational efficiency.
