What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable web or cloud-native platforms with strong testing and CI/CD, collaborative teams, mentorship opportunities, and impactful product work.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience building scalable, high performance web applications, possessing deep expertise in frontend engineering and backend architecture. With a strong foundation as a Senior Full Stack Engineer at Deloitte and Primecodo, I specialized in developing SaaS solutions using Node.js, Express.js and JavaScript frameworks to build dynamic, user focused platforms across the e commerce, healthcare, fintech and finance industries. My tenure at IBM Global Services, as a software developer, solidified my skills in frontend and backend integration, utilizing modern technologies such as ReactJs, AngularJs and NodeJs for seamless user experiences. Passionate about staying ahead of the curve, I continuously adopt emerging technologies to deliver innovative, problem solving solutions that help businesses remain competitive. My journey reflects a commitment to driving innovation, addressing complex challenges, and providing robust software that sets new industry standards and enhances business processes.

One of the projects I’m most proud of is Fairmint, a platform transforming tangible assets into fractional digital ownership. My role involved refining the user experience and ensuring operational excellence across both frontend and backend systems.

On the frontend, I built an intuitive and visually engaging interface using React, Redux, Highcharts and D3.js, making complex financial data easy for users to understand and interact with. On the backend, I developed high performance RESTful APIs with Fastify, Prisma, PostgreSQL and Redis, ensuring scalability and reliability. I also integrated third party services like Twilio and SendGrid for secure authentication and real time updates.

I’m especially proud of this project because I was able to combine advanced frontend techniques, robust backend architecture and real time integrations to deliver a seamless, responsive and secure platform. Seeing it successfully used by real users and knowing that my contributions improved both usability and system performance was extremely rewarding.
