I've delivered full-stack systems for New York State Office of Information Technology Services, building secure REST APIs, AI integrations, deployment pipelines, and public-facing web applications. My work includes a bulk user provisioning system that cut processing time by 85%, CI/CD improvements that increased release frequency by 30%, and database optimizations that improved retrieval efficiency by 35%.

Previously, I founded EFORGE NexGen Innovations, where I built Java and Spring Boot APIs supporting 10,000+ daily requests, event-driven Kafka pipelines processing 1 million+ sensor events daily, and responsive React and Angular applications for 500+ concurrent users. I work across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, React, Node.js, cloud-native deployment, testing, and AI services including OpenAI API and Google Vertex AI.
