What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles in fast-paced teams where I can lead architecture, optimize performance, mentor engineers, and build scalable, secure cloud-native systems.

I am a polyglot software developer with over 4 years of experience designing, implementing, and testing high-quality web and mobile applications across real estate, education, and publications.

I specialize in backend architecture, API design, database scalability, functional programming, and performance optimization, and I build full-stack solutions using JavaScript/TypeScript, NestJS, Laravel, React, and Vue.

I lead teams, mentor engineers, deploy scalable cloud solutions, and have driven measurable improvements such as reducing booking errors by 30% and improving API response times by 40%.
