What I'm looking for

I seek a role building secure, scalable web applications where I can work across frontend and backend stacks, contribute to security best practices, and grow through collaborative, data‑driven teams.

I am a full‑stack developer with a background in information systems security and computer/electrical engineering, focused on building secure, scalable web applications. I combine academic research in cybersecurity with hands‑on software development to deliver robust systems.

In industry roles I designed and implemented configuration management and API systems using Vue.js, Nuxt.js, TypeScript, FastAPI and JWT/OAuth2 authentication, integrating multiple databases including Elasticsearch and Oracle. I emphasize automated testing and secure API design.

My research work investigates cybersecurity datasets, class imbalance effects, and true time‑to‑detection metrics for cyberattacks, and I have implemented realistic data transmission using industrial protocols such as IEC 61850 and IEC 60870.

I enjoy working across frontend and backend stacks, improving application security through RBAC and policy review, and contributing to teams that value data‑driven systems, scalable architecture, and continuous improvement.
