What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable web and cloud-native systems with strong focus on accessibility, observability, and automated CI/CD in collaborative, agile teams.

I am a senior full-stack engineer with 10+ years building accessible, high-performance frontends and scalable cloud-native backends for enterprise and government domains. I design and implement component-based UI systems using React, Next.js, Angular, and Vue, and build secure APIs and microservices with Node.js (NestJS/Express), Java, and Python deployed on AWS.

I lead UI modernizations, mentor engineers, and own CI/CD and infrastructure as code workflows using GitHub Actions and Terraform. My work includes WebGL/Three.js visualizations, observability with OpenTelemetry and CloudWatch, and delivering production-ready systems with container orchestration (Kubernetes/ECS) and strong security practices.
