What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Full Stack Developer with 11+ years of experience building scalable front-end and back-end systems using JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, and cloud platforms. I have led cross-functional teams, architected microservices and real-time systems, and delivered high-quality products across fintech, enterprise, and startup environments.

My work includes payment systems, streaming/real-time features, data pipelines, and automated testing to ensure reliability, security, and performance.
