What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-friendly role where I can lead engineering delivery, translate business needs into scalable products, and apply modern React/TypeScript, backend services, and DevOps automation to improve reliability and speed.

I’m a dedicated Software Engineer and leader with “over eight years” in the tech industry, building efficient, scalable solutions and translating business requirements into working products. I’ve worked across blockchain platforms, e-commerce, agtech, and CRM—so I adapt quickly and stay results-driven.

At Lisk (Remote), I architected and contributed to Lisk Portal using React, TypeScript, NextJS, TailwindCSS, and GraphQL, reaching over 500k users. I also helped build the Panna SDK and contributed to Lisk Desktop, including leading a new wallet architecture and supporting backend microservice setup.

I focus on quality and delivery: I automated testing with Jest, React Testing Library, MSW, Cypress, and Playwright, maintained over 80% code coverage, and improved DevOps automation with GitHub Actions, AWS, and Docker to reduce deployment times to 10 minutes. I lead feature delivery, run code reviews for TypeScript and Go, and mentor junior engineers.

Earlier, at CoAmana, I bootstrapped an e-commerce app with TypeScript, React, Redux, Node.js, Python, and GraphQL, led a dashboard piloting to over 20,000 users, and enforced unit testing to reduce production bugs by 70%. I’ve also designed CRM solutions at Interra Networks and built client projects as a freelance Full Stack Developer—always shipping on time and improving user outcomes.
