What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead full-stack projects, improve performance and security, and mentor teams while delivering scalable cloud-native products.

I am a senior full-stack developer with nine years of experience building fast, scalable web applications across frontend and backend stacks.

I have delivered production systems for healthcare, e-commerce, and communications using React, Vue, Angular, Node, Django, and Laravel, and I lead teams to improve performance, security, and delivery pipelines.

Notable achievements include building a National Guard platform with Laravel/Vue, leading a React/Django healthcare platform with HL7/FHIR integrations, and improving performance and reliability across multiple products through API optimization, background processing, and CI/CD.

I focus on pragmatic architecture, strong collaboration with product and UX, and reliable deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud services to ensure secure, maintainable, and high-performing applications.
