What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles where I can build scalable, test-driven cloud-native applications, improve performance and reliability, and mentor teams in agile environments.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Developer with 12 years' experience building scalable, high-performance applications across fintech, e-commerce, and healthtech. I specialize in React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, and cloud-native architectures on AWS and GCP, and I focus on delivering reliable, production-grade systems.

At PayXpert I engineered a global financial dashboard platform and implemented GraphQL APIs reducing query latency by 30%, while at Wehkamp I created micro-frontends and refactored monoliths to modular APIs, cutting deployment time by 50%. I achieve high automated test coverage using Playwright, Jest, Cypress, and React Testing Library, and I automate CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and CircleCI.

I value performance, scalability, and developer productivity, and I bring hands-on experience with micro-frontends, real-time dashboards, API design, and cloud deployments. I deliver consistent UI libraries, strong accessibility practices, and secure authentication patterns to produce maintainable, user-focused products.
