What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote opportunities with U.S.-based teams that foster innovation and collaboration.

I am a Full Stack Developer with 8 years of experience in building scalable, high-performance web applications across various sectors including FinTech, EdTech, and SaaS. My expertise lies in technologies such as React.js, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I have a proven track record of delivering complex systems from scratch and optimizing existing platforms to enhance performance and user experience.

Throughout my career, I have successfully engineered and deployed full-stack applications, integrated third-party APIs, and implemented compliance automation features that significantly improved operational efficiency. My role as a technical consultant has allowed me to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical clients, ensuring that project specifications are met with precision and clarity. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to take on new challenges that push the boundaries of technology.
