I’m a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience building responsive frontends and scalable, cloud-native backend services. I enjoy designing frontend architectures, optimizing performance, and turning complex product requirements into clean, well-documented systems that are easy to maintain and ship. In my recent work, I’ve helped scale fast-commerce platforms to millions of active products and high order throughput, while also building AI-powered workflows that let non-technical users retrieve product data through natural language. I’ve led migrations and performance improvements (including Angular modernization and state management refinements), strengthened reliability with thorough unit/E2E testing, and improved operational visibility using modern monitoring and alerting across containerized and serverless Kubernetes environments.
