What I'm looking for

Looking for remote Full-Stack or Backend Software Engineer opportunities, with a focus on React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, PHP, and Laravel. Interested in building scalable applications, developing APIs, solving technical challenges, and working with collaborative teams. Open to full-time and contract roles with opportunities for growth.

I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and maintaining web applications across fintech, digital content, and business software. My core technologies include React, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, Python, PHP, Laravel, and PostgreSQL.

Throughout my career, I’ve developed customer-facing features, built REST APIs, integrated external services, optimized application performance, and improved software reliability through automated testing and debugging. I’m comfortable working across the full development lifecycle, from understanding requirements and designing solutions to implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.

I enjoy solving complex technical problems, improving existing codebases, building maintainable systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. I’m particularly interested in full-stack and backend engineering opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful products, take ownership of features, and continue growing as an engineer.
