What I'm looking for

I seek challenging full-stack roles where I can build scalable, high-performance products, mentor teams, and apply modern AI/DevOps practices in an agile environment.

I am a full-stack software engineer with 3+ years building scalable web and mobile applications, focused on performance, SEO, and reusable microservice architectures.

I have integrated diverse APIs (hotel, flight, weather, payments) and upgraded user experiences with Next.js, serving thousands of monthly users while improving booking conversion and engagement.

I deliver end-to-end solutions: frontend interfaces with React/Next, backend services with Node/Express/Nest, Dockerized deployments, CI/CD pipelines, and observability via Sentry; I also mentor junior developers and participate in Agile practices.

Beyond software, I bring production-floor experience in quality control and teamwork, and I build AI-enabled projects (RAG chatbots, exam proctoring) that combine modern LLM toolchains with practical product outcomes.
