Full-Stack Engineer focused on building scalable SaaS platforms, AI-integrated applications, and high-performance web systems using Node.js, TypeScript, and React. I’ve delivered 10+ full-stack projects across multiple industries, including AI-powered platforms like Academatrix, where I integrated LLM APIs, designed modular microservices, and implemented secure authentication systems. I consistently improve application performance (up to 40%) through optimization techniques such as caching and efficient database design. Beyond development, I bring a strong DevOps and support mindset—CI/CD pipelines, Linux environments, and reliable remote collaboration. My background in cybersecurity and IT support ensures I build systems that are not only functional, but secure and resilient. I work well with startups and remote teams, translating business requirements into scalable technical solutions quickly and effectively.
