What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

As a Full Stack Engineer with five years of experience, I specialize in designing and delivering scalable, user-friendly applications across web and mobile platforms. My career has been marked by a proven track record in optimizing frontend architectures, building secure and reliable backends, and mentoring teams to deliver high-quality products. I am passionate about solving complex problems, driving innovation, and contributing to impactful projects that enhance user experiences—always striving to over-deliver beyond expectations.

On the frontend, I have led teams in revamping legacy codebases, integrating advanced technologies, and significantly improving performance metrics. At Kouture Konect, I transitioned a legacy codebase to a modern React and Vite setup, reducing hot reload time from 8 seconds to just 0.2 seconds. My expertise spans React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit, Vite, and Tailwind CSS, where I consistently deliver fast, responsive, and maintainable interfaces across multiple frameworks.

On the backend, I have designed and implemented secure Node.js systems using TypeScript, Fastify, and PostgreSQL. My experience includes building RESTful APIs for authentication (JWT, Google OAuth2, 2FA), developing robust DAO layers for schema alignment, automating user flows (invitations, resets, activations), and integrating email delivery with Mailtrap and Nodemailer. I’ve also set up CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and deployed across cloud (Render, Supabase) and local environments, ensuring production reliability with logging, error handling, and environment-based configuration.

With a collaborative mindset, I bridge the gap between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders by translating complex technical concepts into actionable insights. My combined expertise in modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue) and backend systems, along with a consistent habit of over-delivering, positions me as a valuable asset to any team aiming to push the boundaries of user experience, scalability, and security.
