What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a technical leadership role building scalable, cloud-native applications with strong emphasis on test automation, CI/CD, and team mentoring in collaborative, quality-focused engineering cultures.

I am a full-stack engineer and technical leader with 10+ years delivering scalable applications, automation frameworks, and cloud-native services. I work across modern stacks including NestJS, Next.js, Django, FastAPI, and serverless AWS Lambda to build reliable systems.

I have a track record of measurable impact: increasing component test coverage from 2% to over 60%, reducing test cycle feedback from three days to 15 minutes, and designing HIPAA-compliant ETL pipelines for healthcare data. I also create developer tooling and dashboards that improve visibility and developer velocity.

I combine deep development skills with quality engineering practice—building CI/CD pipelines, quality gates, and comprehensive test suites (unit, integration, API, E2E, accessibility, performance). I mentor engineers, lead cross-functional initiatives, and standardize testing and deployment practices across teams.

I bring a pragmatic, results-oriented approach to building maintainable software at speed and enjoy roles where I can lead technical direction, improve engineering quality, and coach teams to deliver robust, production-ready systems.
