About

I am a full-stack engineer with a strong focus on building and operating SaaS platforms in startup environments. I drive 0→1 product development and own both backend systems and frontend applications, using Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, React, and Next.js. I design secure REST APIs, multi-tenant SaaS architectures, and RBAC systems, with hands-on experience in AWS deployment, performance optimization, and production operations.

I enjoy solving real-world problems through well-architected software, collaborating across teams, and delivering scalable, reliable systems. I am keen to contribute to challenging healthtech, fintech or SaaS projects and continue growing in cloud, data, and real-time communication domains.
