What I'm looking for

I’m seeking full-time individual contributor software engineering roles—building and owning production web applications, REST APIs, and PostgreSQL-backed workflows with strong focus on performance, authentication, testing, and CI/CD.

I’m a software engineer with 2+ years of experience owning production web applications, REST APIs, and PostgreSQL-backed workflows. I focus on performance optimization, authentication, automated testing, CI/CD, and production support using React, TypeScript, and Node.js.

In my current role as a Research Software Engineer, I’m building an explainable credit-scoring system that helps reviewers understand rejected and low-confidence loan decisions. I compare classification models, implement SHAP and constrained counterfactual explanations, and build reusable Python workflows for data prep, evaluation, and experiment tracking.
