What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end features in a remote-first team building real-time, event-driven web applications. I want to apply SvelteKit/React for scalable UX, use telemetry to guide product work, and lead architecture via RFCs and mentorship.

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 9+ years shipping production web applications for remote-first teams across Europe, the US, South Africa, and Pakistan. I specialize in SvelteKit and React, with deep experience in real-time systems, event-driven architecture, and scalable frontend design. I’m known for owning features end-to-end and using product telemetry to shape what gets built.

At Operanex and glasc.io, I’ve led technical direction on small-to-mid teams, driving technical practices through RFC-driven architecture, design critiques, and structured code review. I’ve architected and delivered real-time operator experiences—streaming live MQTT telemetry into interactive UIs, and building fleet tracking and analytics with Kafka/RabbitMQ pipelines while mentoring engineers via pairing and written design reviews.
