What I'm looking for

I want hands-on engineering roles building scalable eCommerce/SaaS products, with a collaborative Agile culture, mentorship opportunities, and strong cloud/CI/CD practices.

I am a seasoned Senior Full‑Stack Engineer with over 8 years delivering high‑performance eCommerce and SaaS solutions using React, Node.js, and TypeScript. I design and deploy scalable, secure applications on AWS and GCP, integrate headless CMS (Sanity, Storyblok) and Shopify Plus, and improve developer workflows through CI/CD and automation.

I mentor junior engineers, lead technical discussions, and collaborate closely with UX and product teams to produce dynamic user experiences that drive business results. My work emphasizes maintainability, performance, and clear documentation, with hands‑on experience in Three.js, Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud architecture.
