What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build scalable, secure cloud products in Agile teams—blending Java/React engineering with AI automation (OpenAI/TensorFlow/LangChain), owning backend+frontend performance, and shipping faster via strong CI/CD.

I’m a seasoned senior full stack developer with 8+ years building robust, scalable products across Healthcare, FinTech, eCommerce, and AdTech. I specialize in Java (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Hibernate) and ASP.NET, and I build high-performance systems on AWS/Azure while delivering clean, intuitive UIs with JavaScript, React, and Next.js. In Agile environments, I lead migrations from legacy monoliths to containerized microservices and focus on reliability, modularity, and measurable performance gains.

I integrate AI-powered development into production workflows—using OpenAI API, TensorFlow, and LangChain—to power intelligent recommendations, automated testing, and predictive user insights. In recent roles, I improved frontend load performance by 35%, reduced API errors by 30%, and cut release time by 40% through micro-frontend architecture and CI/CD automation (GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins). I’m known for technical versatility, collaboration, and a results-driven approach—I’m not just a developer who delivers code; I’m a builder who delivers impact.
