What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can own end-to-end cloud-native systems, apply AI, mentor teams, and drive scalable, secure architectures in an Agile environment.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 9+ years building enterprise-grade, cloud-native applications using Node.js, TypeScript, microservices, and modern front-end frameworks. I drive end-to-end product ownership — from design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and optimization — with a focus on performance, security, and cost efficiency.

I have delivered measurable improvements such as reduced latency, higher test coverage, and faster response times by applying scalable architecture, DevOps practices, and applied AI (OpenAI API, GCP Vertex AI). I mentor engineers, lead cross-functional teams in Agile environments, and ensure compliance for regulated systems.
