What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my full stack expertise to drive impactful projects and contribute to a forward-thinking team.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience in delivering cloud-native, data-intensive applications across various industries, including logistics, HR-tech, e-commerce, and healthcare. My expertise lies in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), as well as Java/Spring and Python/Django. I am known for building high-performance user interfaces, secure real-time APIs, and event-driven microservices on AWS. My passion for clean architecture and test automation drives me to embed AI capabilities, such as chatbots and semantic search, using OpenAI tools to unlock significant business value.

Throughout my career, I have modernized legacy platforms, architected real-time analytics dashboards, and embedded AI-powered assistants that have significantly improved operational efficiency. I champion a test-first culture, having written over 400 Jest and Cypress test cases, which has raised the CI pass rate to an impressive 98%. My leadership experience includes mentoring teams of engineers and introducing design review processes that have streamlined project delivery and reduced sprint spill-over.
