I’m looking for a full-stack or backend-focused role where I can own features end-to-end and build scalable, production-grade products. I’m especially interested in SaaS, fintech, or AI-driven teams using React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript. I value autonomy, clean architecture, strong communication, and remote-friendly environments.

Full-Stack Engineer specializing in React, React Native, and Node.js, shipping production-ready web and mobile apps.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full-Stack Engineer and Technical Lead with several years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications across fintech, e-commerce, and enterprise platforms.
I specialize in React, React Native, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript, with strong backend experience designing RESTful APIs, authentication systems (JWT, OAuth, Firebase), and managing SQL/NoSQL databases. I’ve led full product lifecycles — from architecture and database design to deployment, optimization, and monitoring on Linux and AWS environments.
In my recent work, I’ve built a multi-country ambassador management platform with gamification, digital wallets, GPS verification, and real-time leaderboards. I also architected an enterprise-grade e-commerce platform using Next.js 15 and MedusaJS v2 with multi-payment integrations, advanced search, POS systems, and partial fulfillment workflows.
I enjoy owning features end-to-end, improving performance, optimizing database queries, and building systems that are secure, scalable, and production-ready. I’m particularly interested in high-growth teams, AI-enabled platforms, SaaS products, and systems that operate at scale across multiple regions.
I bring strong engineering fundamentals, execution speed, and the ability to work independently in remote, async environments.
