What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build secure, accessible, production-ready full-stack products, collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering teams while mentoring developers and improving delivery quality.

I've led full-stack engineering at CV to Career, building a career-focused SaaS platform with React.js, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and secure JWT/OAuth2 workflows. I direct frontend and backend delivery while improving API response times by about 40% and release cadence by 30%.

At Nerdbug, I owned end-to-end delivery across concurrent client projects, from responsive Next.js interfaces and reusable component libraries to Node.js APIs, database design, deployment, and OpenAPI documentation. My reusable modules reduced time-to-delivery on follow-on projects by about 25%.

I've also built platforms across photography, HR technology, fintech, finance, education, e-commerce, and waste management. At EazyHR, I improved throughput by 35%; at Ninth Grid, I reduced Largest Contentful Paint by about 45% for a media-rich booking platform.

I enjoy turning product requirements into secure, accessible, production-ready systems. I also mentor developers, lead code reviews, and bring practical experience with React, Next.js, Node.js, NestJS, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, AWS, and Agile delivery.
