Senior full-stack software engineer delivering scalable, data-driven web applications and mentoring engineering teams.
What I'm looking for
I am a senior full-stack software engineer with 15+ years building performant, scalable, and intuitive applications across startups and large tech companies. I specialize in React, Node.js and Python, and I bring a deep understanding of algorithms, system design and modern web architectures.
I have a proven track record of shipping impactful products — from AI-driven legaltech features that raised user engagement to financial B2B platforms where I deployed multiple features and improved delivery speed. I lead technical initiatives, refactor legacy codebases into modular architectures, and integrate analytics to drive data-informed decisions.
I am driven to foster innovation, mentor engineers, and maintain engineering excellence to enhance team effectiveness and product impact. I enjoy solving complex problems, optimizing performance, and delivering measurable improvements in user engagement and conversion.
