About

I am a versatile and passionate full-stack software engineer with over 15 years of experience building robust web and mobile applications. I specialize in the MERN stack and React Native, and I enjoy turning complex requirements into scalable, user-friendly solutions that drive business growth. I’ve led cross-functional teams, mentored junior developers, and collaborated closely with designers and data scientists to ship features that matter. I’m always eager to learn new technologies and apply best practices in architecture, testing, and performance to deliver high-quality software.
