What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end features and build scalable products with React, Python (Django REST), and Node.js—especially in remote Agile teams with strong code review, clear API/data ownership, and real impact.

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 2+ years of production experience building scalable web applications with React, Python (Django REST), and Node.js. I deliver maintainable, end-to-end features—from REST API design and PostgreSQL schema to real-time dashboards and responsive UIs.

In React-ive Code Labs, I owned 5 production features for a live B2B SaaS, triaging and resolving QA-flagged bugs end-to-end while maintaining stable uptime. I also served as the sole engineer for a 30+ component multi-portal platform, implementing RBAC multi-tenant auth and integrating REST APIs via React Query across multiple user portals.

Previously at Tilde, I built a React/Next.js cloud deployment dashboard that reduced manual configuration time by ~60%, optimizing performance with code splitting and lazy loading. I bring strong async-friendly collaboration in fully remote Agile/Scrum teams, along with disciplined debugging, code reviews, and cloud/DevOps exposure (AWS, Docker, CI/CD).
