What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles focused on scalable frontend/full-stack development, strong CI/CD and cloud practices, collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and measurable product impact.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years building and maintaining web and mobile applications for production environments across insurance, streaming, blockchain, and e-commerce sectors. I focus on scalable frontend architecture, reliable CI/CD, and performant user experiences using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Flutter, and Node.js.

I have led frontend initiatives, designed backend services, managed cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and containerized applications with Docker. I regularly implement CI/CD pipelines, consume REST and GraphQL APIs, and translate designs from Figma into production-ready, accessible interfaces.

Beyond engineering, I am a technical writer with 10,000+ Medium reads and an active mentor in developer communities, committed to knowledge sharing, developer growth, and delivering maintainable, high-quality software.
