What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior/full-stack role where I can lead cross-product architecture, ship high-performance frontend and mobile experiences, and apply AI to improve developer productivity and reliability in production.

I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience building high-scale web and mobile platforms serving millions of users. I lead cross-functional teams to deliver cross-product architecture, performance-critical frontend systems, and revenue-impacting features, with production systems operating at 99.xy% reliability.

Most recently, I built an AI-powered internal development tool using a self-hosted LLM and an AI-assisted accessibility remediation pipeline that generated fixes and automatically created pull requests from Jira tickets. Earlier, I rebuilt WebGL rendering architecture to increase frame rates from 15 to 50 FPS and helped scale organizations through architecture standards, mentoring, and onboarding—while improving reliability to 99.99% uptime.
