What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role focusing on scalable systems, performance optimization, cross-platform frontend work, and opportunities to mentor engineers in an agile, collaborative environment.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with extensive experience building and optimizing scalable applications across social media, enterprise security, and IoT systems. I specialize in frontend development with React and React Native, backend services using GraphQL, Hack, and Python, and cloud infrastructure on AWS.

At Meta I led performance improvements for the Instagram Feed and video upload pipeline, cutting upload and processing time by 50% and improving rendering latency across platforms. I optimized build and source-control systems, designed authentication APIs, and mentored junior engineers to raise team productivity and code quality.

Previously, I improved test coverage and automated testing at LookingGlass Cyber Solutions and built scalable IoT data processing architectures at Amazon Lab126 using Python and AWS. I value pragmatic engineering, mentorship, and shipping reliable, high-performance systems.
