What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in an AI-first company where I can lead innovative projects and contribute to impactful solutions.

As a Principal Full Stack Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience, I have a proven track record of building innovative AI products and scalable web applications. My journey has taken me through various roles, from leading tech at startups to developing end-to-end systems using cutting-edge technologies like OpenAI, Next.js, and FastAPI. I am passionate about creating solutions that not only meet client needs but also enhance operational efficiency, as evidenced by my work at CareerSuiteAI, where I reduced manual effort by 80% for recruiters.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered impactful results, such as reducing hiring decision times by 60% and optimizing content publishing processes by 70%. My technical expertise spans a wide range of tools and frameworks, including React, Python, and various cloud platforms. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am actively seeking hands-on leadership or founding engineer roles in AI-first product teams, where I can leverage my skills to drive innovation and success.
