What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and growth.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 9 years of experience, I have developed a robust skill set in both frontend and backend technologies. My journey has led me to construct a successful e-learning SaaS platform at Toptal, which achieved a remarkable 95% customer satisfaction rate and generated $382,000 in its first year. I pride myself on my ability to enhance web application performance, having increased rendering speed by 10% and improved operational efficiency by managing legacy APIs effectively.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in software development. At DockYard Inc, I optimized loading times by 20% and implemented caching techniques that significantly improved website performance. My collaborative approach has allowed me to work efficiently with cross-functional teams, leading to a 25% increase in team productivity. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers, enhancing code quality, and fostering a customer-focused architecture, which has resulted in a 30% reduction in code review time.
