What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling high-traffic platforms using Node.js, React, and TypeScript. I specialize in full-stack architecture, microservices, and high-performance APIs, delivering secure and scalable fintech and healthcare systems serving hundreds of thousands of users.
Across my roles, I’ve owned end-to-end architectures—defining service boundaries, designing GraphQL + REST layers, implementing JWT and RBAC authorization, and optimizing database performance with caching and indexing strategies. I’m also focused on reliability and quality through standardized logging/error handling and end-to-end testing, and I enjoy mentoring engineers on production-ready system design.
