About

I’m a full-stack software engineer with 5+ years of experience building responsive, secure web applications and APIs using React, Node.js/Express, and PostgreSQL. I’ve worked end to end on authentication, role-based access control, admin panels, and performance optimizations across browser and device experiences for teams in healthcare, banking, and SaaS.

I also enjoy solving reliability and data challenges—designing database schemas for fast reporting, building event-driven systems with Kafka and stateful processing, and improving idempotency and pipeline reliability to reduce failures. Alongside engineering, I’ve automated CI/CD and infrastructure using Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and AWS services, and I’ve delivered backend orchestration for LLM tool-calling with safe retrieval and human-in-the-loop escalation.
