I build scalable web applications and business products across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure. As a Senior Freelance Software Developer, I deliver e-commerce features processing 500+ monthly transactions with React, Next.js, Node.js, Express, and Tailwind CSS.

I built a RAG chatbot using AWS Bedrock and OpenSearch to answer company-business questions from internal data, and introduced AWS CDK to replace a manual production setup with repeatable CI/CD deployments and an isolated development environment.

Previously at Veertec, I improved an Analysis application’s performance by 70% for more than 90 customers and built a licensing application generating over 200 licenses weekly. My background also includes high-performance B2B, B2C, banking, CRM, and call-center applications using React, Vue, Angular, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and AWS.
