What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Full Stack Developer with over 8 years of experience in building scalable and high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in architecting robust solutions that combine deep backend knowledge with modern, user-focused frontend development. I take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and collaborating effectively across teams to deliver exceptional results.

At Tonic AI Inc, I led the development of customer-facing applications serving millions of users, significantly improving performance and user satisfaction. My role involved designing RESTful APIs, optimizing backend services, and implementing CI/CD pipelines, which reduced deployment times and enhanced system reliability. I also mentored junior developers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within the team.

Previously, I contributed to Meltano as a Back End Developer, where I designed core services for a data integration platform, improving data pipeline throughput and system reliability. My experience spans various technologies, including React, Node.js, and Python, and I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create impactful solutions that drive business success.
