What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, secure cloud-native web platforms, with opportunities to lead architecture, mentor teams, and implement CI/CD and observability practices.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with a decade of experience architecting and scaling enterprise-grade web platforms across industries.

I specialize in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem—React, Next.js, Node.js, and NestJS—with deep expertise in GraphQL and PostgreSQL, building microservices and real-time dashboards that handle millions of transactions with sub-second latency.

I have transformed monoliths into cloud-native architectures, introduced CI/CD pipelines that cut release cycles from weeks to hours, and enforced security-first practices including SOC2 and CJIS compliance.

I mentor engineering teams, standardize practices, and deliver component-driven design systems while also contributing hands-on to infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), automated testing, and observability to ensure performant, reliable systems.
