What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior full-stack roles building scalable MERN applications and microservices, with strong CI/CD and cloud deployments, in collaborative teams where I can lead technical design and mentor engineers.

I am a Senior Full Stack MERN developer with 10+ years building scalable web and mobile applications using JavaScript and TypeScript. I focus on practical, performance-driven solutions that deliver measurable user impact.

I specialize in backend architecture, RESTful and GraphQL APIs, and cloud deployments. I achieved over 35% application performance optimization and migrated monolithic apps to microservices to improve system efficiency.

I champion CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and real-time features—reducing release cycles from bi-weekly to daily and cutting production bugs by 25%. I have delivered dozens of customer-focused features while mentoring junior developers and introducing coding standards that improved productivity.

I work across the full stack with React, Node, MongoDB, and AWS, and I enjoy collaborating with product teams to turn business requirements into robust technical solutions. I am motivated by scalable architecture, measurable performance gains, and opportunities to lead and teach.
