Senior full-stack engineer building end-to-end SaaS with production AI workflows and clean architecture.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 15+ years shipping production software across fintech, retail, and healthcare. I build end-to-end SaaS products fast, with clean architecture and without a large team, and I lead where it matters—architecture decisions, observability, and engineering process improvements. At Fresenius Kabi, I designed and integrated a full LLM workflow into the engineering process (context architecture, agent task decomposition, quality gates), reducing delivery time ~30%.
In my day-to-day work, I use the Claude API, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot to multiply feature delivery, and I understand AI agent observability from the inside—trace inspection, version comparison, and failure analysis as a practitioner. My stack spans React/Next.js/TypeScript and backend systems in Python (Flask, FastAPI), Node.js, and Java/C#/.NET, plus production infrastructure with Azure and GCP, CI/CD, and robust testing (Playwright, Cypress, Jest/JUnit). I write things down, work async-first, and build systems other engineers can extend.
