What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, product-focused engineering role building scalable cloud-native platforms, real-time systems, and data-driven features with room for technical leadership and impact.

I am a senior full-stack software engineer with deep experience building cloud-native SaaS platforms, real-time IoT systems, and analytics products using React, Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and AWS. I have led migrations from legacy stacks to modern microservices, improved telemetry throughput by 35%, and built products serving 100K+ global users.

I collaborate in cross-functional Agile teams to deliver dashboards, APIs, and AI-assisted modules, and I design robust backend services and CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment speed and system scalability. My work emphasizes performance optimization, reliable real-time data pipelines, and pragmatic engineering practices that accelerate product delivery.
