What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable web and eCommerce platforms, with hands-on technical ownership, mentorship opportunities, and collaborative Agile teams focused on performance and content-driven experiences.

I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience building scalable web applications and content-driven eCommerce platforms. I design reusable, content-first architectures, implement balanced GraphQL and REST APIs, and optimize performance and SEO while mentoring junior engineers and owning deployments.

Throughout my career I have led greenfield projects, migrated frontends to modern frameworks like React and Next.js, integrated headless CMS (Contentful) workflows, and engineered backend services with Node.js and Express. I thrive in cross-functional Agile teams and focus on delivering reliable, high-traffic production systems.
