@mateuszkowalski
Senior Full Stack Engineer delivering scalable web apps, secure APIs, and LLM-powered products.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 9 years of experience delivering scalable web applications, high-performance backend systems, and AI-driven platforms across healthcare and fintech. I bring a broad, modern skillset—strong API development, microservices architecture, and cloud-native systems—focused on building solutions that are secure, maintainable, and fast.
In my most recent role, I architected and delivered end-to-end applications using React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, and Angular, while implementing robust backend services with Node.js (Express, NestJS) and Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask). I integrated LLM-powered chatbot capabilities into production, designed microservices-based distributed systems, and improved system performance and user experience—reducing load times by 35% and deployment efficiency by 40% through frontend optimization and backend enhancements.
I’m also experienced in building production-grade RESTful APIs and GraphQL services, optimizing databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch), and supporting reliability with TDD, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines. I’m known for technical leadership—leading code reviews, mentoring, and collaborating closely in Agile/Scrum teams—to translate complex requirements into clean code, strong architecture, and data-driven outcomes.
