What I'm looking for

I'm looking to make large, aging codebases safer and easier to change through measured technical-debt reduction, frontend ownership, full-stack delivery, and rigorous verification.

At Utilifeed, I own frontend work for a dual-platform district-heating product, reducing application type debt by 38% and cutting cold type-check time by 79%. I lead behaviour-preserving refactors, design-system consolidation, multi-tenant branding, and verification practices that catch defects beyond conventional test suites.

I've also delivered full-stack features for Agnify's Farmers Friend platform, built Azure serverless APIs and CI/CD pipelines, and developed production Azure sites and a secure Spring Boot/React rebuild of a legacy application. Across React, TypeScript, Java, Spring Boot, Go, and Azure, I measure technical debt, find root causes, sequence fixes, and prove the results hold.
