What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a product-minded engineering team where I can build scalable web apps and REST APIs end-to-end, improve performance, and maintain strong production support through debugging and automation.

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 6.5+ years of building scalable web applications, RESTful APIs, and high-performance frontends for e-commerce and marketplace platforms. I’m product-minded and ship end-to-end features across frontend, backend, and payments, with strong production support, debugging, and automation.

I’ve improved application performance by 30–60% through frontend optimization, refactoring, strategic caching, and monitoring. In my recent role, I led the modernization of a legacy Next.js application, increasing customer satisfaction by 60% through architectural refactoring and targeted UX enhancements.

I also focus on reliability and delivery: I’ve implemented comprehensive testing strategies, reduced production defect rates, and led sprint planning and retrospectives in an Agile environment. I bring technical leadership—mentoring engineers, driving code reviews, and integrating complex third-party services while building secure, compliant systems.
