I'm looking for a Senior or Lead Full Stack role where I can build scalable products and contribute to AI-powered solutions. I thrive in remote-first teams with a strong engineering culture, challenging technical problems, and the autonomy to make architectural decisions. I'm especially interested in backend systems, cloud, and AI/LLM integration.

What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 11+ years of experience building scalable web applications using Node.js, TypeScript, React/Next.js, and AWS Serverless. I currently work as an AI Training Engineer on Mercor, evaluating AI-generated code and helping improve the quality of frontier language models.
I build production-ready applications end to end, including RAG pipelines, OpenAI and Claude integrations, function calling, and agent workflows, delivering systems that have improved response times by 40% and reduced production incidents by 25%. I also founded Codemind, a code review SaaS that streamlines technical reviews for correctness, performance, security, and maintainability.
Previously at Modus Create, I led the development of Audi Business Innovation's React operator dashboard backed by a Node.js/NestJS serverless architecture, reducing API latency by 25%, increasing throughput by 60%, and achieving 99.9% uptime. I've also integrated OpenAI and Claude into production platforms while delivering reliable, scalable systems using CI/CD, automated testing, and event-driven architectures.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Led full-stack architecture for Audi Business Innovation's React dashboard and NestJS serverless backend. Tackled high API latency by redesigning Lambda patterns and caching, cutting latency 25%, reducing bugs 25%, and lifting uptime to 99.9%. Integrated OpenAI and Claude APIs with streaming and function calling, improving response times by 40%.
Faced with scaling a 20K+ monthly-user platform plagued by client sync delays, redesigned the architecture from polling to React + WebSocket, cutting sync delays 40%. Improved backend reliability by 15% through Redis caching and maintaining 95%+ test coverage across REST/GraphQL APIs.
Inherited a team with growing tech debt and inconsistent engineering standards. Mentored 10+ engineers through structured code reviews and best practices, reducing tech debt 40%. Architected and scaled a full-stack SaaS from scratch, cutting deployment time 30% and boosting backend throughput 20% via Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD automation.
