Seasoned full-stack engineer building scalable web and cloud AI systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned full-stack software engineer with deep experience building scalable web and cloud applications using Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and modern JavaScript frameworks. I design end-to-end solutions — from backend architecture and microservices to performant UIs — and have led AI integrations, cloud deployments (AWS/GCP/Azure), and cross-functional teams to deliver production systems.
My work includes architecting AI-driven security tooling, real-time dashboards, and large-scale testing platforms, improving performance and adoption through automation, observability, and reusable component libraries. I prioritize maintainability, performance optimization, and developer experience while mentoring teams and collaborating with stakeholders to meet aggressive product timelines.
