What I'm looking for

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 9 years of experience, I have a proven track record of designing, developing, and scaling enterprise-grade web applications across various sectors, including SaaS, healthcare, fintech, and eCommerce. My expertise lies in cloud-native systems and microservices architecture, where I have successfully led technical delivery and optimized performance for top firms.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in modern full-stack frameworks such as Laravel, React, and Node.js. I have managed teams of developers, delivering major projects on time and within budget while fostering a collaborative environment. My commitment to quality and innovation drives me to continuously improve processes and mentor junior developers, ensuring high standards in every project I undertake.
