What I'm looking for

I seek a user-focused role where I can build and architect production-grade web/mobile apps, mentor teams, adopt modern AI tools, and grow in a collaborative, fast-moving startup environment.

I am a full-stack engineer with hands-on experience building AI-powered web and mobile applications for startups, focused on delivering user-first products. I translate UI/UX designs into production-ready features using modern stacks like React, Next.js, React Native, FastAPI and Django.

I have led and contributed across backend and frontend responsibilities, from architecting APIs and database integrations to optimizing performance and containerizing services with Docker. I introduced OpenAI LLM features into mobile apps and implemented robust API documentation and developer onboarding processes.

As a team lead and first-hire engineer, I established code standards, workflows, and architecture for scalable products, mentored junior developers, and ran code reviews to raise quality. I’ve shipped cross-platform apps with Expo, embedded widgets into Shopify, and integrated multiple external APIs to expand product capabilities.

I thrive in dynamic, remote environments where I can both contribute hands-on code and set technical direction, continuously learning and iterating to produce reliable, maintainable systems that prioritize user experience.
