What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote roles where I can build scalable full-stack products, improve system reliability through QA best practices, document processes, and collaborate with cross-functional teams for measurable impact.

I'm a technical generalist who blends quality systems thinking with full-stack software development and clear written communication.

My background in QA and process engineering taught me to find where systems break and fix root causes rather than symptoms, and recent work and study have sharpened my technical skills.

I've built and deployed full-stack applications (Next.js, React, TypeScript) and led projects that include CMS integration, authentication, monitoring, and responsive design, earning top academic marks and deployable demos.

I work well remotely across timezones, focus on documentation and testability, and enjoy translating technical depth into plain language for stakeholders.
