What I'm looking for

I am seeking a full-stack role building scalable, secure web platforms with strong CI/CD and cloud practices, collaborative culture, and opportunities to optimize performance and architecture.

I am a full-stack developer with hands-on experience building config-driven React frontends and robust Node.js backends, focused on performance, security, and modular architecture.

I have led migrations from MongoDB to PostgreSQL, implemented CI/CD with Jenkins, Docker and Kubernetes, and optimized systems using Redis caching and SQL tuning to reduce query and response times significantly.

I prioritize secure, testable code and scalable designs—delivering features like dynamic JSON-driven forms, GraphQL APIs, OAuth/JWT authentication, and localization to accelerate onboarding and improve user experience.
