What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role where I can lead architecture, improve performance, own end-to-end solutions, and work cross-functionally in an agile team.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with nine years building scalable, high-performance web applications across frontend and backend ecosystems. I specialize in architecting end-to-end solutions, optimizing complex systems, and delivering seamless user experiences for SaaS and enterprise platforms.

I have designed and developed dozens of production-grade applications serving 100,000+ users, led backend development using TypeScript and NestJS, and optimized databases and caching to significantly reduce query times and improve response performance. I contribute to CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices to ensure stable, automated deployments.

I am collaborative and product-focused, having worked cross-functionally with designers, mobile engineers, and stakeholders while mentoring junior engineers and leading code quality efforts. I seek roles where I can drive architecture, improve performance, and deliver measurable business impact.
