I am a Principal Full Stack Engineer with over 9 years of experience delivering enterprise-grade, cloud-native applications across FinTech, Telecom, Healthcare, and Retail. I champion TypeScript-first development and modern frontend engineering with React, Next.js, Tailwind, and modular UI systems, paired with robust backends using NestJS, FastAPI, and Node.js. I design API ecosystems (REST, GraphQL, tRPC, gRPC) and empower teams with strong data modeling, ORM tooling, and performance tuning. I lead architecture discussions, mentor engineers, and drive reliability through event-driven design, observability, and resilient deployments. My experience spans Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform on AWS, PCI-DSS and HIPAA compliant controls, and CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions. I enjoy modernizing legacy systems, solving complex domain problems, and delivering high-availability experiences for customers worldwide.
