What I'm looking for

I'm actively seeking a role that presents challenging and innovative projects, enabling me to continue my learning journey in frontend and full-stack development. I thrive in collaborative, diverse tech environments where I can leverage my extensive expertise to drive impactful results and contribute to the team's success.

I’m a Senior Product Engineer and Engineering Leader with 8+ years of experience architecting elegant, scalable, and intelligent software ecosystems. My technical foundation spans robust full-stack development (Python, TypeScript, Node.js, React/Vue) and modern cloud infrastructure. Recently, my focus has expanded deeply into applied Enterprise AI. I build end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platforms and AI copilots—using Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, etc.—to integrate governed, hallucination-resistant intelligence directly into business workflows.
Most recently, I’ve architected multi-service financial reconciliation platforms, shipped CFO-focused natural language-to-SQL analytics, and built enterprise conversational agents. Beyond proprietary systems, I am a dedicated open-source contributor who recently led the v2.0.0 release of a production-grade React file upload library. I advocate for design-led, user-centric engineering and excel at collaborating with cross-functional teams to turn complex requirements into seamless products. I'm eager to bring my expertise to new challenges—feel free to reach out to connect!
