I’m a full-stack software development engineer based in London, focused on building secure, scalable web applications and backend services for high-impact domains like banking and healthcare. I translate complex requirements into maintainable systems, designing clean APIs, responsive UIs, and efficient data models using modern TypeScript/JavaScript and Python/Java-based stacks. I enjoy working end-to-end—from frontend component design with React and TypeScript to backend architecture with Node.js, Express, NestJS, Django, and Java—while also improving reliability through testing, observability, and CI/CD. At teams like JPMorgan Chase and HSBC, I’ve delivered measurable performance, deployment, and quality improvements, and I keep projects robust with containerization, cloud tooling (AWS/Azure), and strong engineering practices like code reviews and automated testing.…
