What I'm looking for

I’m looking for senior engineering opportunities internationally, with relocation flexibility—teams where I can lead delivery and engineering operations, build scalable JavaScript and cloud systems, and ship high-impact web and cross-platform mobile solutions.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 11+ years of experience, including 9+ in professional software engineering. Currently leading engineering operations in Dubai, UAE, I oversee multi-vendor e-commerce platforms and cross-platform mobile applications, with a strong focus on reliable delivery and measurable outcomes.

I architect and deliver scalable systems end-to-end: from backend and frontend design to feature implementation and platform maintenance. I’ve directed the development of multi-vendor ecommerce capabilities supporting customers, vendors, and delivery operations, built three cross-platform mobile applications (customer, vendor, delivery) using Flutter, and implemented advanced search functionality with Elasticsearch to improve product discovery and user experience.

I specialize in JavaScript ecosystems and cloud infrastructure across GCP and AWS, while building modern, maintainable engineering practices. I’ve integrated AI-powered solutions (including chatbot systems), improved team productivity through established development processes, and ensured high-quality software delivery across web and mobile projects—from Node.js and REST APIs to Angular/React frontends and WordPress/WooCommerce CMS and ecommerce systems.
