What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first team where I can own full-stack features end-to-end—API, UI, testing, and reliability. I want pragmatic engineering, clear design, and a place where I can ship safely, iterate quickly, and improve maintainability.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 8+ years building and scaling SaaS and consumer web applications for enterprise customers and high-traffic platforms in distributed, remote-first teams. I work across the stack—from API and backend architecture to performant, user-facing interfaces—with a focus on reliability, usability, and maintainability.

Most recently, I designed and built FlexInvoice, an invoicing tool that generates styled PDF invoices from structured data using server-side rendering and headless Chrome. I delivered it as two decoupled services with schema validation, a form-based GUI, YAML-driven presets, CSV export, and Docker containerization to replace manual workflows with an automated, repeatable process.

At Appetize.io, I led the technical implementation of a marketing website using AstroJS as part of a company-wide rebrand, improving performance from ~60% to 90%+ and lifting accessibility, best practices, and SEO from ~75% to 95–100% across core pages. I also contributed to the V2 core web application using Next.js, expanded E2E test coverage from 50% to 90%+, and built a self-serve enterprise SSO onboarding flow (SAML & OIDC) that removed onboarding from the critical path and saved 30+ hours of setup effort while reducing ongoing support load.

I’ve continued to earn trust by shipping iteratively with clear design and pragmatic solutions—whether it was implementing a GDPR-compliant cookie consent system across 9 production domains at BJSS, building a production accounting platform with Java (Spring Boot) and Angular at Resourcify, or using an AI-assisted development workflow with guardrails to accelerate debugging and feature delivery without sacrificing code quality.
