About

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable, secure, and high-performance web applications and APIs. I work across the full stack—Node.js, NestJS, React, and Next.js—with strong database experience across PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, and Redis, and I enjoy designing clean microservice-oriented backends and reliable integrations (REST/GraphQL and third-party systems).

I also bring hands-on experience with AI/LLM integrations and document/identity automation, including OCR, MRZ recognition, identity verification, and facial recognition workflows. Alongside engineering, I help with architecture, code reviews, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes basics, monitoring, and production troubleshooting—collaborating closely with product, UI/UX, QA, and DevOps teams to deliver end-to-end outcomes.
