What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable web/mobile products where I can lead API design, improve CI/CD and cloud deployments, and drive performance and clean architecture.

I am a full-stack software engineer with 2+ years of professional experience building scalable web and mobile applications using React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, and NestJS. I focus on API design, CI/CD automation, AWS cloud deployments, performance optimization, and clean architecture to deliver user-centered products.

At Sticky Cards I design and maintain REST APIs, manage CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and deploy to AWS; as a freelance developer I delivered 5+ production-ready applications and handled full project lifecycles from requirements through deployment.
