What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior role where I can lead web and backend delivery in Agile teams—building high-performance applications, integrating complex APIs, and modernizing systems into microservices while improving performance, security, and developer standards.

I’m a results-driven Senior Web Developer with 10+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications and modernizing legacy systems. I’ve led technical delivery in fast-paced Agile environments, integrating complex APIs and migrating monolithic architectures into optimized microservices.

In recent roles, I’ve developed and maintained high-traffic WordPress platforms—creating custom themes/plugins, improving Core Web Vitals, SEO, and security, and strengthening performance with caching. I also spearheaded code audits and deep refactoring, applying DRY principles to boost speed and reliability.

I enjoy bridging product, UI/UX, and engineering teams to deliver enterprise-grade solutions, from REST APIs and payment gateway integrations to containerized microservices for high availability. I mentor developers, refine development standards, and focus on CI/CD, unit testing, and continuous improvement so teams ship confidently and quickly.
