What I'm looking for

I am looking for a long-term remote opportunity where I can apply my full-stack development and DevOps expertise to build scalable, high-quality products. I value roles that offer challenging problems, opportunities to use modern technologies, and a culture of learning and innovation.

I am a Full-Stack Developer with 13+ years of experience in designing and building scalable web applications across healthcare, education, IoT, e-commerce, and SaaS domains. Recently, I completed a 3-year contract with McGraw Hill Education, contributing to their acquired product Achieve3000 Literacy.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Founding Engineer for a startup, where I built multiple products from scratch, led teams, and established scalable system architectures. My expertise spans backend, frontend, microservices, CI/CD automation, AWS cloud, 3rd party API integrations, and real-time applications.

Beyond coding, I focus on mentoring engineers, writing unit tests, ensuring test coverage, maintaining legacy code, improving documentation, and applying OOP, design patterns, and SOLID principles to ensure long-term maintainability.

I’m passionate about solving complex problems, exploring trade-offs in system design, and using the latest AI tools to boost productivity and code quality. I’m now seeking long-term remote opportunities (full-time, part-time, or contract-to-hire) where I can deliver impact and help scale innovative products.
