What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a fully remote role available worldwide. Based in UTC+3, I can overlap a full working day with EMEA and a 4–6 hour afternoon window with US Eastern.

At TextChat Inc., I work across the NestJS backend and Next.js dashboard of a multi-channel customer messaging platform. I shipped its SMS channel end to end, including Twilio integration, number provisioning, webhooks, and 10DLC registration, and implemented WhatsApp Business messaging with inbound media handling and automatic access-token renewal.

I also designed and shipped configurable roles and permissions with tenant isolation, and owned conversation dispositions from API design through the UI. Before that, at Afrikanest, I built responsive, accessible interfaces in React, Angular, and Vue, translating Figma designs into production components.
