What I'm looking for

I seek a technical, collaborative role delivering scalable web platforms where I can lead frontend/ full-stack initiatives, drive performance improvements, and mentor engineers.

I am a versatile Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years building scalable, high-performance web applications using modern JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems.

I have deep expertise in React, Next.js, Node.js and NestJS, and I lead frontend efforts while contributing strongly on the backend. I design monorepo solutions, microservices, and serverless deployments to improve developer productivity and runtime performance.

Notable achievements include leading a team to build a community platform (Re:ArchTech) that boosted organic traffic by 30% and user engagement by 25%, and implementing a monorepo at BLKBOX.ai that improved workflow efficiency by 40% while halving response times through performance optimizations.

I contribute to open source (fig.io autocomplete) and have founded a MERN-based peer-to-peer marketplace, demonstrating product-minded engineering and end-to-end delivery from architecture to production.
