I'm a software engineer and hands-on tech lead with a track record of building and shipping web and mobile products end-to-end. I'm proficient across the MERN stack and React Native, with cloud-native services on AWS and CI/CD as standard practice. I set clear direction for lean teams, run predictable Agile delivery, and translate product goals into reliable, maintainable systems, with hands-on ownership from requirements and architecture through delivery and post-launch iteration, and clear communication to product and executive stakeholders.
