Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering product-focused software across frontend and backend, with deep hands-on strength in React, TypeScript, Node.js, Angular, and modern web architecture. I’ve led end-to-end delivery across discovery, design, implementation, and rollout, and I work best in product teams where engineering is closely tied to customer and business impact. Alongside hands-on development, I’ve taken on leadership responsibilities including driving delivery, facilitating team processes, removing blockers, coordinating across functions, and supporting team effectiveness. Recently, my work has increasingly combined senior engineering with leadership: owning complex initiatives, improving execution, and helping teams deliver with clarity and momentum. I’m particularly interested in senior/lead engineering, tech lead, and hands-on engineering management roles where I can combine technical depth with team and product leadership.…Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering product-focused software across frontend and backend, with deep hands-on strength in React, TypeScript, Node.js, Angular, and modern web architecture.
