What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior full-stack or 3D-focused engineering roles where I can modernize legacy systems, optimize performance, mentor teams, and build scalable enterprise or real-time visualization solutions using modern web stacks, Rust/Go, and robust CI/CD practices.

I am a senior full-stack engineer with nearly seven years building enterprise web applications using Angular, TypeScript and Node.js. I am a tech-debt buster and an unapologetic NeoVim enthusiast with a lifelong passion for 3D software.

I modernized a legacy jQuery/Angular hybrid into Angular 14+, halving bundle size and modularizing web workers to boost report generation 5x while reducing memory consumption 90%. I introduced Jest and Cypress testing, CI/CD pipelines, RBAC, WYSIWYG Open XML exporters, ported critical logic to Go, and built SQL migration and schema evolution tools for PostgreSQL and Sequelize.

I delivered real-time 3D visualizations rendering millions of points at under 40ms per frame, replaced DOM overlays with shader-based solutions, and led cross-functional teams while mentoring junior developers. My open-source projects like Petrichor64 and Silt-Lua highlight my Rust, game-engine, and WASM experience.
