What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable, secure web applications in healthcare or enterprise, with strong DevOps, mentorship, and growth opportunities.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over a decade of experience building high-performance web applications for healthcare and enterprise clients. I specialize in modern frontend frameworks like React, Next.js, and Angular, and backend technologies including Node.js and NestJS.

Throughout my career I have led complex projects at companies such as AbbVie, ScienceSoft, Designli, and SunPower, delivering measurable improvements like increased user satisfaction, reduced time-to-market, and faster deployment times. I focus on scalable architectures, responsive design, real-time data synchronization, and rigorous testing to ensure reliability for sensitive applications.

I enjoy mentoring junior engineers, driving DevOps and CI/CD best practices, and applying performance optimization techniques. I am passionate about leveraging cloud platforms, containerization, and serverless approaches to build secure, maintainable solutions that improve healthcare and enterprise workflows.
