What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-friendly team where I can ship full-stack products, modernize legacy systems, and use AI-assisted workflows to deliver reliable integrations and measurable performance improvements.

I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable web applications, self-service platforms, and third-party API integrations for 2,000+ merchants. I specialize in TypeScript, Node.js (NestJS), React, and PHP (Laravel), and I’ve driven results like cutting data retrieval time by 80% and improving feature delivery time by 30% through AI-assisted development workflows.

In my recent roles, I’ve built and maintained self-service kiosk software, refactored legacy Angular/TypeScript workflows to reduce technical debt by 30%, and raised automated test coverage to 85% using Jest and CI/CD. I also bring broader engineering depth—from delivering API integrations and monitoring AWS-hosted services to designing RESTful APIs, migrating monoliths to microservices with Docker, and leading a small technology team to reduce downtime by 50%.
