What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a technical leadership role where I can own end-to-end delivery—specs, architecture, AI/LLM integrations, deployment, and monitoring—while mentoring teams and building reusable systems that scale.

I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer and Technical Lead with 9+ years of experience and 45+ shipped MVPs across AI, SaaS, and enterprise platforms. I bring deep, hands-on expertise in Ruby on Rails, Python, FastAPI, Node.js, and React, with a strong focus on building reliable, high-traffic systems.

I’m comfortable owning problems from spec to production—translating business requirements into clear technical plans, then implementing, deploying, and monitoring. In my recent work, I built and maintained scalable web applications, secure APIs, and microservices with modular, independently deployable services.

I also specialize in AI/GenAI integrations, including LLM-powered applications, RAG systems, and agentic workflows. I’ve shipped production features like real-time data pipelines, ETL processing integrating AWS S3 and Snowflake, and LLM integrations delivered with practical engineering standards.

As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect, I focus on spec-driven, production-grade delivery and scalable architecture. I lead technical direction, perform code reviews, mentor engineers, and build shared internal tools and reusable systems that scale across multiple products.
