What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can own product areas end-to-end, use data-driven experimentation, mentor engineers, and build scalable web systems that deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 6+ years building high-performance web applications using Ruby on Rails, React, Next.js, and Node.js, and contributing to open-source projects to improve developer experience and reliability.

I have delivered solutions that drove $500k+ in business value, optimized APIs and performance (80% response-time reductions, 60% load-time reductions), and implemented product features that increased conversions and sign-ups through data-driven experimentation and analytics.

I enjoy owning product verticals end-to-end, mentoring engineers, integrating AI-powered tools and cloud infrastructure, and shipping scalable systems that align technical work with measurable business outcomes.
