Full Stack Engineer building scalable web, IoT, and cloud systems—improving performance and security.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Engineer with 2 years of experience building scalable web applications, IoT systems, and cloud infrastructure. I’ve delivered measurable impact in energy management and IoT sensor networks—improving system performance by up to 70%, reducing report sizes by 99%, and cutting manual processes by 75%. I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges and turning modern development practices into outcomes teams can measure.
In my most recent work, I designed and implemented Energia Suite solutions using Next.js and real-time data from InfluxDB, built React Native mobile monitoring, and engineered a BLE-based Wi‑Fi provisioning flow on Raspberry Pi to enable fully wireless IoT onboarding. I also focused heavily on reliability and efficiency—adding rollback-enabled import management, encrypting API communications end to end, optimizing bundles with webpack-bundle-analyzer and lazy loading, and converting Excel-based calculations into an optimized Python backend that improved processing speed by 70%.
