What I'm looking for

I’m looking to create quality products with autonomy—building scalable REST APIs and responsive UIs, improving test coverage, and leveraging AWS/Docker to streamline delivery in a focused, committed team.

I’m a full-stack engineer focused on creating quality products with “focus, commitment , and sheer will.” My corporate tenure centers on RESTful Java/Spring APIs and TypeScript/Angular applications, and my freelance work has strengthened my API craft across Node/Express and Python/Django—plus JavaScript/React interfaces.

I’ve delivered measurable impact, including designing a platform to automate and streamline workflows and reduce turnaround time by 88%, building custom APIs capable of leveraging AI, and operating asynchronously with high autonomy. I also created full-stack portals for a management service serving more than 48,000 pharmacies, expanding test coverage and bringing test-driven concepts into legacy workflows, while modernizing aging user interfaces into single-page Angular apps and implementing RESTful API patterns across the code base.
