I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer with 20+ years of designing and delivering data-driven applications, APIs, and cloud-hosted platforms. Recently I architected and launched Pinloco end-to-end—a production React/Next.js PWA backed by PostgreSQL, REST APIs, webhook-driven automation pipelines, and Stripe payment integrations—designed, implemented, and operated entirely by me. I excel across the full stack, with particular strength in backend services, relational data modelling, API design, and workflow automation. I’ve delivered in agile, remote-first environments on complex, business-critical systems, and I’m comfortable owning the full delivery lifecycle from architecture to infrastructure operation and continuous improvement.
