Senior full-stack engineer building scalable SaaS, fintech, and Web3/AI products.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 5+ years of expertise building scalable SaaS, Fintech, and blockchain-enabled applications. I bring deep proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, and Vue.js, and I ship production-grade features with a strong focus on performance, maintainability, and secure coding across the stack.
In my current role, I architect and develop full-stack SaaS and Fintech platforms—handling real-time payment processing, KYC flows, and secure financial data management—while also designing and deploying Solidity smart contracts using the Foundry framework. I integrate blockchain capabilities into enterprise applications across Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon, and I align technical delivery with business expectations through direct client demos and feedback sessions; earlier, I contributed to React/GraphQL e-commerce product work and built an ETH/BSC/Polygon NFT Marketplace (Chainlink VRF) with 80%+ unit test coverage using Jest and Enzyme.
