What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, fast-paced engineering role where I can lead full-stack projects, improve performance and accessibility, implement scalable architectures, and grow into higher-impact leadership responsibilities.

I am a driven and versatile Full-Stack Engineer with over 8 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, high-performance web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Django, and Python. I focus on creating seamless digital experiences that balance speed, accessibility, and maintainability, and I have led front-end modernizations, built fundraising CRMs, and optimized backend workflows to measurably improve load times and user engagement.

I bridge design and engineering to transform UI/UX into production-ready components, introduce scalable development practices, and implement DevOps pipelines that accelerate delivery and reduce technical debt. I am passionate about accessibility, modern development practices, continuous learning, and delivering solutions that drive measurable business value.
