What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior full-stack or team-lead role where I can design scalable architectures, lead and mentor cross-functional teams, and deliver impactful products in an agile, fast-paced environment.

I’m a tech-savvy Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead with 8+ years building scalable, user-focused web and mobile applications. I lead cross-functional teams and take ownership from system architecture through delivery.

I’ve designed and migrated monolithic systems to microservices, cutting response times by 30% and improving stability. I led the design of real-time collaboration features that increased engagement by 40% and delivered key client modules ahead of schedule. I’ve also built customer portals and React Native apps that boosted user engagement and downloads significantly.

I mentor junior developers, enforce coding standards through rigorous code reviews, and continuously evaluate emerging tools to improve velocity and quality. I’m seeking to bring architectural leadership, hands-on development, and mentorship to a product-focused, agile team.
