What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role building cloud-native, high-performance web platforms with strong CI/CD, observability, and opportunities to mentor engineers and improve delivery workflows.

I am a Senior Full-Stack Developer with over nine years building large-scale, cloud-native SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise applications. I design and implement high-performance APIs and responsive front-ends using React, Next.js, and TypeScript, and I build scalable back-end systems in Node.js, NestJS, Java (Spring Boot), C#, and Python while emphasizing reliability, maintainability, and performance.

I lead end-to-end delivery including database and infrastructure design (AWS ECS, Lambda, RDS, Terraform), CI/CD automation, and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch). I mentor engineers, improve workflows through automation and standards, and have a track record of reducing latency, shortening release cycles, and increasing developer velocity across multi-tenant platforms serving tens of thousands of users.
