What I'm looking for

I am looking for a mid-level engineering role building scalable web platforms, with growth opportunities, strong engineering culture, and ownership over backend and full-stack systems.

I am a full-stack software developer with hands-on experience building scalable web applications, migrating legacy systems, and automating operational workflows. I have delivered production systems using React, Node.js, TypeScript, MySQL, MongoDB and Azure, and built chatbots serving 100,000+ users.

At Workstream Automation I led a backend migration from Java/Servlets to TypeScript Node.js implementing 150+ APIs and improving maintainability; at Eocean I developed an in-house billing portal and WhatsApp Business API chatbots. I have experience deploying containerized applications with Docker, integrating ADB2C for authentication, and implementing real-time features with Socket.IO and WebSockets.

I take initiative on tooling and developer experience—building a custom RSDK for in-house API testing and extending platform capabilities—and I enjoy interviewing and mentoring candidates as part of engineering hiring processes.
