What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior engineering roles where I can lead AI-integrated product development, mentor teams, prototype rapidly, and align technical solutions with business strategy.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing and delivering agentic systems that integrate AI-driven workflows. I build end-to-end solutions using Python, Kotlin, and TypeScript across frameworks like Spring, FastAPI, React, and Vue.

At Altoros I led engineering to architect AI-enhanced workflows that improved broker and underwriter efficiency and reduced processing time by integrating Anthropic and OpenAI models. I design modular, scalable frameworks that shortened development cycles and align technical work with business strategy.

Previously at Microsoft and PayPal I developed responsive interfaces, dynamic navigation, and data visualization tools that increased engagement, discoverability, and executive insights. I focus on performance optimization, accessibility, and reusable component libraries to drive consistent product quality.

I enjoy mentoring teams, collaborating cross-functionally in agile environments, and rapidly prototyping ideas with leadership to turn abstract concepts into production-ready systems that meet evolving market needs.
