What I'm looking for

I seek Full Stack roles building cloud-native web applications using modern JS stacks, CI/CD and microservices within collaborative Agile teams; open to relocation and focused on technical growth and measurable impact.

I am a Full Stack Developer with 3 years of hands-on experience designing and building scalable, high-performance web applications using React.js, Angular, Node.js, and Spring Boot.

At GlobalPayments and Cognizant I developed full‑stack SaaS modules, transitioned legacy frontends to React, and engineered RESTful services—delivering measurable improvements such as 40% faster page loads, 55% reduced API response times, and significant cost and efficiency gains.

I specialize in cloud deployment (AWS), CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Docker) and DevOps practices, having optimized pipelines to lower deployment failures to under 5% and reduced hosting costs through migration and automation.

I thrive in Agile teams, prioritize maintainable, user-centric solutions, and am focused on building resilient microservices and reliable systems where I can continue to grow technically and drive measurable product impact.
