What I'm looking for

I am looking for frontend or backend or full stack software engineer or web developer roles. Open to remote-only opportunities.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with 10+ years building and scaling production web applications using Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, and Ruby on Rails. I design and implement RESTful APIs, microservices, real-time systems, and automated testing strategies to improve performance, reliability, and developer velocity.

I've delivered large features end-to-end across finance, clinical, and construction platforms, optimized databases and backend services for large datasets, created reusable frontend component libraries, and reduced production defects through strong debugging, TDD practices, and cross-functional collaboration with Product, Design, and QA.
