I'm a Full Stack Developer with 7+ years of experience delivering scalable, high-performance web applications. I specialize in Golang, Node.js, React, Next.js, and cloud-native systems, designing end-to-end solutions with REST and gRPC APIs, microservices, and interactive UI interfaces. I have a strong background in system design, CI/CD, and cloud deployments, and I enjoy turning complex problems into clean, maintainable code. I thrive in collaborative teams and have shipped products that support tens of thousands to millions of users. What I bring to the table is a pragmatic, user-focused approach to software engineering: I write reliable code, optimize performance, and automate repetitive work to keep teams moving quickly. I’m always learning new technologies and best practices to keep delivering high-quality software at scale.
