I’m a full-stack engineer and technical lead with 9+ years of experience architecting data-intensive platforms and delivering modernizations across the full SDLC. I lead end-to-end system design, data modeling, and production delivery—building React/Next.js and Node.js applications, REST APIs, and PostgreSQL-backed systems, while setting technical roadmaps and driving CI/CD adoption for reliable, high-throughput architectures. I’ve worked on scaling archival SaaS and content-heavy platforms to tens of millions of documents and multimedia datasets, improving indexing and retrieval workflows for concurrent, high-volume search. I also support cloud-native modernization through containerization and Kubernetes-ready delivery pipelines, and I mentor teams through performance, integration, and migration challenges—helping engineers grow autonomy, reducing release friction, and keeping engineering efforts aligned with business and stakeholder needs.
