What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable web and mobile products with cross-functional teams, growth opportunities, and impact-driven projects.

I am a senior full-stack software engineer with extensive experience architecting scalable web and mobile applications for fintech and eCommerce platforms.

I have led end-to-end projects—designing mobile apps, merchant APIs, websites, and admin tools—taking products from development to production and app store deployment.

My technical strengths include React Native, Laravel, MySQL and a broad JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem; I pair engineering execution with strategic contributions as a board director and team mentor.

I deliver user-centered solutions, drive cross-functional collaboration, and focus on performance, security and maintainability to align technology with business goals.
