Senior software engineer building scalable full-stack and AI-powered platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable full-stack applications and AI-powered platforms. I bring strong expertise in MERN stack and Python, and I focus on designing high-performance systems that deliver production-ready results in fast-paced environments.
At Fora Soft, I led development of the Fox Runner Live Stock News App, a real-time financial platform handling high-frequency data streams with ~40% lower latency after redesign. I architected a scalable full-stack system using MERN, Next.js, and Python-based AI services, supporting 2x growth in concurrent users, and migrated the frontend to Next.js with TypeScript, improving page load performance by ~30%.
I also build and integrate real-time and AI capabilities, including WebSocket-based pipelines for sub-second delivery and NLP-based models for financial sentiment analysis and recommendation features. I’ve optimized MongoDB schema and indexing to reduce query response times by ~30%, deployed containerized applications with Docker and cloud infrastructure while maintaining ~99.9% uptime, and mentored junior engineers on system design and code quality.
