What I'm looking for

I seek a technical leadership role where I can build cloud-native, scalable systems, mentor engineers, and deliver high-impact products in a collaborative, agile environment.

I am a results-driven Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years building scalable, high-performance systems across startups and enterprise environments. I lead and mentor engineering teams, design microservices and cloud-native architectures, and deliver performant frontends using React, Vue, and TypeScript while implementing robust backends in Go, Python, and Node.js.

My work includes leading teams of up to 15 engineers, delivering fintech and gaming features, improving deployment speed with container-based architectures, and building large-impact public-sector interfaces. I prioritize maintainability, observability, and security while collaborating closely with product, design, and stakeholders to drive measurable improvements in reliability and user experience.
