What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth, where I can leverage my expertise in full-stack development and cloud technologies.

I am a results-oriented MERN Stack Architect with over 11 years of full-stack development experience. My expertise lies in designing scalable, high-performance, cloud-native web applications. I have a proven track record in leading Agile teams, building microservices, deploying on AWS, and integrating CI/CD pipelines. I am adept in modern JavaScript, TypeScript, and RESTful/GraphQL API development, and I am passionate about writing clean, modular code while mentoring teams in best practices.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered SaaS platforms, real-time dashboards, and eCommerce solutions with enterprise-grade security and responsive UI/UX. I thrive in fast-paced environments focused on innovation, product excellence, and continuous delivery. My strong communication skills and ability to collaborate cross-functionally have been key to my success in driving projects forward and achieving team goals.
