What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end product delivery—owning architecture, shipping production deployments, and building practical SaaS or LLM-powered features. I want a team that values design-to-production ownership and fast, high-quality iteration.

I’m a full-stack engineer who designs and ships production software end to end—from Figma through to deployment. I thrive on owning architecture, technical decisions, code reviews, and delivery, especially when I’m the sole/lead engineer bringing ideas to production.

At Muze Studios, I served as lead engineer and designer across 7+ products, collaborating with a growing team while managing end-to-end build and deployment. I led Beqy from initial wireframes to full-stack production, built Savings Club (a Flutter mobile app with an active, growing user base), and took Zoway from concept to a ride-ordering platform in active use.

I also build production-grade AI systems: I delivered an AI-powered proposal generation system for the ILO (International Labour Organization), automating document workflows and reducing manual effort. I’ve built LLM-powered products with LangChain and LangGraph, including a WhatsApp booking bot with a persistent memory architecture and dual-memory design using PostgreSQL plus LangChain/LangGraph checkpointers.

I enjoy blending engineering with product craft—designing full platform UI/UX in Figma and integrating payments, automation pipelines, and cloud deployments. From MERN stack web platforms (with custom scheduling logic) to Dockerized AI services and Stripe integrations, I consistently ship reliable features and production-ready experiences.
