What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role combining full‑stack engineering and AR/VR or media production, with growth, impact, and opportunities to lead product delivery.

I am a full-stack web developer with a strong MERN-stack background and hands-on experience building accessible multimedia web interfaces, AR/VR experiences, and production-quality video content. I combine frontend design, API integration, and backend engineering to deliver performant, user-focused products.

My experience includes leading studio production and media projects, directing cross-functional teams, and launching web applications like ChefGPT (OpenAI-powered) and a GraphQL-refactored Book Search Engine. I have repeatedly improved engagement, delivery speed, and digital reach through technical solutions and creative execution.

I prioritize collaboration, agile delivery, and inclusive design, and I bring practical expertise in AR/VR toolchains, cloud deployment, and modern web stacks to roles that blend engineering with immersive media and product-driven outcomes.
