I’m a senior software engineer with a strong academic foundation and 10+ years of experience building products end-to-end—from startup environments to enterprise systems. I enjoy working across the stack, including responsive web applications, mobile-friendly experiences, and back-end REST API and microservices that power real business outcomes. I’ve led and delivered features using modern front-end frameworks like React and Angular, and back-end services with Node.js/NestJS and Python/Django/FastAPI. I’m especially motivated by building scalable, reliable systems (often on AWS with Docker and Kubernetes) and by collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to turn complex requirements into maintainable, high-quality software.
