What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 9 years of experience, I specialize in architecting scalable, end-to-end systems across cloud, web, and mobile platforms. My journey has been marked by a commitment to bridging product vision and technical execution, ensuring that every line of code is clean and purposeful. I have led mission-critical projects that involve microservices, real-time data, and high-traffic user interfaces, always prioritizing clarity and long-lasting solutions over quick fixes.

At Vytalize, I spearheaded the development of HIPAA-compliant web applications, integrating AI-powered care recommendations and automating CI/CD pipelines. My previous role at Bloomfire saw me revamping their knowledge-sharing platform, significantly enhancing UI speed and user engagement. I thrive in collaborative environments, working cross-functionally to deliver innovative solutions that meet user needs and drive business success.
