What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles where I can design scalable cloud-native systems, lead full-stack projects, integrate AI solutions, and contribute to product-driven teams that value impact and continuous delivery.

I am a results-oriented Senior Software Engineer with over 15 years of experience delivering full-stack applications and cloud architectures across public safety, e-commerce, and banking sectors.

I have deep expertise in Java (Spring Boot), Node.js, React, TypeScript and AWS, and hold an AWS Certified Developer credential; I’ve led product development, built scalable microservices, and managed infrastructure with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.

Recently I engineered AI-driven voice agents integrating OpenAI and ElevenLabs and have founded and shipped a real estate platform as Co-Founder and Principal Engineer, demonstrating product ownership and startup agility.
