What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead full-stack architecture, drive cloud-native and AI integrations, mentor teams, and improve CI/CD and reliability.

I am a lead full-stack engineer with deep experience architecting scalable web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Python. I focus on designing robust API architectures and optimizing microservices for reliability and performance.

Throughout my career I have driven cloud-native migrations and CI/CD improvements on AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes to increase deployment velocity and uptime. I have a track record of reducing latency and improving system observability through asynchronous services, caching strategies, and automation.

I champion integration of AI/LLM capabilities to automate workflows and personalize user experiences, and I build developer experience improvements such as reusable internal tools and Infrastructure-as-Code. I routinely collaborate cross-functionally to align technical strategy with product direction.

I mentor engineering teams on system design, DevOps automation, and cloud platform best practices, and I partner with stakeholders to shape architecture decisions that support business goals and high-growth environments.
