What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth, where I can leverage my technical skills and leadership experience to drive impactful projects.

I am a Lead Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience in building full-stack web applications across logistics, retail, and enterprise SaaS. My expertise lies in Ruby on Rails, React, and AWS, where I have a proven track record of delivering high-impact, scalable solutions. I excel at leading small engineering teams, translating business requirements into technical architectures, and driving product outcomes from inception through deployment.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led the development of a real-time freight analytics dashboard used by over 50 enterprise clients and architected a custom microservice pipeline that processes over 2 million shipment transactions per month. My commitment to quality is evident in my ability to increase test coverage to 92% and implement robust background job queues to enhance system performance and reliability.

I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and establishing best practices for maintainable code. I thrive in agile environments and enjoy collaborating with product managers to break down complex workflows into manageable milestones. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation in software development.
