United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 6 years of experience building secure, scalable web applications across Banking, FinTech, and PropTech. I focus on mission-critical delivery, scalable system design, and high-quality engineering practices, with strengths in Node.js, TypeScript, React.js, microservices, and REST APIs.
At Emirates NBD, I develop mission-critical banking applications and improve delivery through backend services, API integrations, distributed systems, and automated testing. I also leverage Generative AI for meeting transcription, summarization, and action-item extraction, and I use AI-assisted workflows to speed up code reviews, API design, database schema evolution, and UI generation from design artifacts.
Previously at PropertyLoop, I led a team of 6 engineers and delivered a property analytics platform using Node.js APIs, Azure Functions, and caching strategies, boosting feature engagement by 35%. Earlier at Infosys, I built React-based enterprise applications for 10,000+ users and optimized backend MySQL queries to reduce API response times by over 50% while increasing test coverage from 60% to 90%.
