What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable web/mobile products, lead technical teams, and integrate AI/ML and secure CI/CD practices in a collaborative, product‑driven company.

I am a full‑stack software developer with 7+ years building high‑performance web and mobile applications, specializing in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and Flutter.

I have designed and delivered AI‑enabled document processing systems, RESTful APIs with JWT authentication, and secure file handling, and integrated payment and subscription flows.

I led product and technical teams to revamp enterprise systems, ship nurse and HR portals, and reduce manual work through automation and scalable architectures.

I continuously expand expertise in AI/ML integration, Kubernetes, API security, CI/CD automation and cloud deployments to deliver maintainable, performant solutions.
