What I'm looking for

I seek senior full-stack roles where I can lead cloud-native, secure, and AI-enhanced product development, mentor teams, and improve delivery via DevOps and scalable architectures.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 13+ years building enterprise, B2B SaaS, e-commerce, healthcare IT, and AI-driven products across frontend, backend, cloud, and DevOps.

I design and implement responsive, high-performance applications using JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, .NET/C#, React, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Django, and Spring Boot, and I build secure RESTful and GraphQL services with microservices architectures.

In recent roles I led performance optimizations that reduced frontend load times by 35% and backend API latency by 28%, strengthened CI/CD and Kubernetes pipelines to cut release times by 40%, and drove feature adoption improvements of 20% through close stakeholder collaboration.

I mentor engineers, create reusable design systems and component libraries, and apply DevOps and IaC practices (AWS, Azure, Docker, Terraform, Kubernetes) to deliver reliable, maintainable systems that meet regulatory requirements like HIPAA.
