What I'm looking for

I am looking for a mid-level development role building scalable web backends and modern frontends, with an agile team, growth opportunities, and a focus on production reliability.

I am a Full Stack Developer with hands-on experience building and deploying scalable web and backend systems. I specialize in React, Next.js, Node.js and Python (Flask), and I focus on delivering production-ready features.

My work spans real-time systems, APIs, authentication, and performance improvements; I collaborate with product managers and designers and contribute within agile teams. I have built systems integrating WebSockets, WebRTC, and payment and billing providers.

Notable projects include a real-time call control router using Node.js and Asterisk, a multilingual AI assistant for farmers using Flask and OpenAI, and a subscription analytics SaaS with Stripe integration. I emphasize secure APIs, robust database design and measurable outcomes.

I bring practical DevOps familiarity (Docker, Nginx), strong database experience (MySQL, MongoDB), and a pragmatic approach to shipping features, fixing bugs, and improving system performance.
