I'm a full-stack software engineer with hands-on production experience building and maintaining web platforms (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL) for the public health sector, combined with Linux infrastructure and DevOps skills (Docker, server hardening, Proxmox). I'm comfortable owning a feature end-to-end — from REST API design and database performance to deployment and security. I have strong written and verbal English (B2), reliable remote-work habits, and a track record of clear communication with cross-functional teams.
