What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging role where I can own end-to-end delivery—frontend-heavy, backend systems, or fullstack—while using AI-augmented workflows. I want a team that values architecture, mentoring, and solving problems end-to-end.

I’m a Full Stack Developer with 10+ years of hands-on experience across Frontend, Backend, and Mobile development—starting with Android (Java) and moving into the JavaScript ecosystem with React.js, Next.js, and Node.js. I’m currently a senior engineer and de facto technical lead, driving solution architecture, sprint estimation, and mentoring developers across the squad.

For the past 1 to 1.5 years, I’ve used AI tools extensively—Cursor, Emergent, Claude, and others—to improve productivity, code quality, and delivery speed. I’m currently building an AI-powered Connector that lets clients explore data analytics and generate reports without engineering dependency, including architecting the MCP (Model Context Protocol) layer and the data pipeline feeding it.
