I build scalable cloud-native full-stack applications and automation for AWS and Google.

I've built scalable full-stack applications, backend services, and cloud-native platforms at Amazon Web Services and Google.

At AWS, I use TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, REST APIs, and AWS services to improve engineering workflows. My architecture and automation work delivered 25% faster workflows and reduced manual effort by 30%.

I've integrated AI and LLM-based capabilities, led technical design discussions, reviewed code, and mentored engineers while building reliable, high-availability systems.
