Available to hire
Hi, I’m Irv Lustigman, a senior full-stack software engineer with extensive experience in backend and frontend systems, API design, web applications, and scalable architectures.
I’ve built and delivered systems across fintech, AI, robotics, and data-driven platforms, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and clean design. After leading high-tech startups from concept to market, I deliberately returned to hands-on engineering—my original passion—where I focus on building robust systems and solving complex technical problems.
