I want to build secure, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, owning architecture end to end, hardening auth and data access, and integrating AI where it drives real risk reduction. I thrive in Agile teams with cross-functional stakeholders and clear impact.

Senior full-stack engineer building secure, multi-tenant SaaS with AI.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 8 years of experience building production-grade SaaS platforms. I specialize in secure, multi-tenant architecture including row-level security, RBAC, JWT/HMAC authentication, and CI/CD pipelines, using React, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL.
I founded and shipped SecureEndpoint, a compliance SaaS platform for FDIC-regulated institutions, from architecture through deployment, including PostgreSQL schema design, query optimization, and Prisma migrations. I’ve also delivered security outcomes as a vulnerability remediation specialist at Apple Bank and built a zero-knowledge encrypted messenger (ECDH P-256 + AES-GCM) with real-time group messaging and mobile-first PWA support, including LLM-powered intelligence via the Claude API.
