I am Bryan Hopkins, a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 9+ years of experience building mission-critical, cloud-native web applications across fintech, e-commerce, and regulated environments. I specialize in hands-on delivery across React/TypeScript + Node.js frontends and Python (Flask/FastAPI/Django) + Golang microservices, with strong AWS serverless and container platforms. I design robust APIs (REST/gRPC), optimize performance for large data sets (PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB), and implement security-first controls (OAuth2/JWT/SAML) supported by CI/CD and thorough documentation. I am US-based and remote-friendly, collaborating with distributed teams across time zones. My recent work includes production GenAI/RAG systems (Azure OpenAI, LangChain, vector search) for document-centric workflows.
