I’m a Principal Software Engineer with 6 years of experience designing, building, and owning scalable web applications and distributed backend systems. At Jobcase, I’ve owned architecture and delivery of distributed services (Java, AWS, Kubernetes) for high-traffic, data-intensive workflows used by hundreds of thousands of users.
I lead end-to-end product execution, from translating Figma designs into responsive interfaces with React, Vue, Node.js, and TypeScript to shipping AI-enhanced experiences. I integrated LLMs to improve the job application screener flow, driving a 30% increase in completion, and I mentor peers on scalable architecture, code quality, development efficiency, and AI integrations.
