About

I’m a full-stack software developer with eight years of experience building responsive web applications and robust backend services, especially with Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I enjoy turning complex workflows into clean user experiences—whether I’m optimizing page load performance, designing role-based access, or building reliable APIs and admin dashboards.

I also work with modern AI capabilities, including LLM-powered retrieval-augmented generation to help users find the right answers faster using internal documentation. Across startups and large-scale platforms, I’ve led performance improvements, built testing and CI/CD automation, supported A/B testing, and mentored engineers while shipping production features end-to-end.
