What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, maintainable web, mobile, cloud, and AI-powered products with cross-functional teams, applying strong backend architecture, API design, performance optimization, and reusable frontend systems.

I've built scalable web, mobile, and cloud applications for Adobe Express, QuickBooks Online, and Zillow's real estate marketplace.

At Adobe, I engineered Python, FastAPI, React, Next.js, and TypeScript functionality for content creation and AI-powered workflows, reducing initial load time by approximately 35%. I also improved engineering efficiency by approximately 30% through reusable architecture, modular services, shared components, and AI-assisted workflows.

Across fintech and real estate products, I've delivered secure APIs, React Native applications, Stripe payment workflows, database optimization, caching, and responsive user experiences that improve performance and speed feature delivery.
