What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end delivery of scalable full-stack products, blend AI/LLMs into real workflows, and continuously improve performance, cost, and reliability using modern AWS-based architectures.

I’m a dynamic, results-driven Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 6.5+ years of experience building high-performance, scalable applications. I specialize in modern stacks like React, Django, FastAPI, Node.js, and AWS, and I’ve led end-to-end delivery across FinTech, EdTech, Real Estate, and Oil & Gas.

My work consistently focuses on measurable impact—reducing deployment times by 40%, cutting server costs by 65%, and increasing user engagement by 40% through smarter architecture and performance optimization. I’m especially motivated by turning complex requirements into reliable systems that ship fast and stay stable in production.

Recently, I built MeetSimon, an AI-powered hotel concierge platform using Python, FastAPI, Next.js, and React—implementing a RAG-based conversational system with LangChain and improving guest-query response latency by 45%. Before that, I architected and launched a real estate discovery platform from MVP to production, handling 1M+ API calls/month with Django, React, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, and AWS serverless services, while integrating AI-driven profitability recommendations and improving engagement by 35%.

I also bring leadership and delivery rigor: I mentored teams, drove Agile/Scrum execution, and optimized data pipelines and ETL workflows. Whether I’m re-architecting a CRM from PHP to Django/React with CI/CD and API redesign, building microservices for fintech products on AWS Lambda and API Gateway, or shaping real-world coding assessments as a problem setter, I aim to deliver outcomes—not just features.
