What I'm looking for

I seek roles with architectural leadership, mentoring opportunities, and responsibility for building scalable, observable cloud-native systems that integrate AI and drive measurable product outcomes.

I am a Senior Full Stack Developer and Technical Lead with over a decade delivering large-scale, enterprise-grade web platforms, microservice ecosystems, and cloud-native solutions. I translate product strategy into resilient, maintainable systems using modern front-end frameworks (React, Next.js, Angular, Vue) and backend platforms (Django, FastAPI, Flask, Node.js), and I lead architecture reviews, mentor teams, and coordinate cross-functional delivery to meet aggressive SLAs.

I architect observability, reliability, and secure data flows, modernize legacy portfolios into containerized orchestrated environments, and integrate AI APIs and automation to improve user experience and operational efficiency. My DevOps expertise includes Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and secure cloud identity practices; I prioritize clarity, ownership, and measurable outcomes while coaching teams to adopt scalable engineering practices.
