What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build impactful AI and full-stack products where I can own architecture, integrations, delivery, and production reliability while contributing technical leadership and hands-on engineering.

At Algomus, I build and support enterprise software for client programs including Meta, Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. I lead code reviews, engineering R&D, architectural decisions, and end-to-end delivery across active products.

I led an LLM-powered analytics system and supply-chain chatbot, automated PowerBI and API workflows to reduce manual effort by 50%, and improved legacy-product load time by 70%. I also built chat, RBAC, database structures, and a notification and email subscription engine that increased user engagement by 40%.

My work spans React, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, Python, SQL, AWS, and production support, including L3 issue resolution across Java and Angular systems. I enjoy connecting product UX, APIs, integrations, cloud services, data systems, and reliable delivery.

I've also built StoryMorphAI, a generative video platform using React, NestJS, BullMQ, Redis, FFmpeg, MongoDB, WebSockets, RAG, and multiple AI providers. Earlier, I led and mentored a team of five at Educative and built MERN features, analytics, and AWS Lambda workflows at Remotebase.
