What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end product delivery with modern web stacks and cloud-native platforms—leading architecture, mentoring engineers, and partnering cross-functionally to ship reliable, high-performing experiences.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable full-stack applications, backend platforms, and consumer-facing products. I build from concept to production by combining thoughtful software architecture, resilient backend services, and cloud-native infrastructure, and I love partnering with engineers, designers, researchers, and product stakeholders to translate goals into intuitive user experiences.

In my recent role, I architected and delivered 12+ full-stack applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, C#, and .NET Core, including scalable microservice architectures and REST API models that reduced service response times by 38%. I also built internal engineering tools that automated deployment and diagnostics, cutting delivery time by 34%, and deployed cloud-native solutions on Azure and AWS with Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines—improving deployment reliability to 99.9%. Earlier, at Triton Digital, I improved backend scalability by 41% through performance tuning and distributed caching, and at Outschool I helped drive a 29% engagement lift while reducing average page load times by 37%; throughout, I’ve led architecture reviews, mentored 6+ developers, and strengthened reliability through code reviews and collaborative technical leadership.
