Full‑stack engineer crafting scalable web products with AI and UX focus.
What I'm looking for
I am a full‑stack product engineer specializing in TypeScript, React/Next.js, and cloud infrastructure, focused on building AI, SaaS, and platform products for startups and global teams.
I have led product engineering for MerlinAI, shipping features that enabled 10,000+ users to migrate chat history, increased model adoption by 80%, and improved session retention and satisfaction metrics significantly.
As a founding product engineer and independent contractor, I architected decentralized skill‑validation systems, built AI‑powered hiring tools, and scaled cloud infrastructure to support thousands of platform actions.
