I’m a senior full-stack engineer and technical lead with 14+ years building production systems across consumer products and highly regulated environments. I’ve delivered MVP-to-production platforms using React/React Native, Node.js APIs, and PostgreSQL, with strong focus on data modeling, privacy/consent workflows, and audit-friendly event logging. I enjoy owning architecture and execution end-to-end—defining service boundaries, improving reliability through pragmatic testing and code review practices, and partnering closely with product, design, and QA to ship on aggressive timelines. My work often includes secure authentication/authorization, careful PII handling, and third-party integrations that keep operational visibility high without compromising user data.
