What I'm looking for

I seek backend/full-stack roles leveraging Node.js and AWS in collaborative, Agile teams where I can architect scalable systems, mentor engineers, and drive cost-efficient cloud solutions.

I am a full-stack developer with over seven years of experience, specializing in back-end development using JavaScript and Node.js. I focus on building scalable cloud solutions and applying strong analytical skills to solve complex problems.

Throughout my career I have delivered production systems across e-commerce, fintech, logistics, and HR platforms, modernizing legacy codebases and implementing serverless architectures. I am experienced with AWS services such as Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS/Aurora Serverless v2, SQS, Cognito, CloudFront, and CDK.

I have led teams and projects as a tech lead and senior engineer, facilitating Agile processes, mentoring junior developers, and participating in architecture and design decisions. Notable achievements include leading a logistics management system that placed Top 3 in the IdeaSpace Acceleration Program and building cost-optimized personal cloud storage using S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval.

I deliver maintainable, well-architected systems using modern stacks (React/Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, Serverless, Drizzle ORM) and emphasize clean architecture, reliability, and cost efficiency. I quickly learn new technologies and adapt to varied business requirements to drive product and operational impact.
