I’m a senior full-stack product engineer with 7+ years of experience building production web applications and SaaS products end-to-end, from translating founder and business needs into technical architecture through shipping, testing, deployment, and ongoing production support. I’ve built AI-powered product experiences with a strong focus on usability, reliability, and pragmatic delivery in small, founder-led teams. My day-to-day strength is owning the full lifecycle: designing frontend systems with Next.js/React/TypeScript, building backend APIs with FastAPI and Python (plus Node.js when needed), modeling data in PostgreSQL, and integrating authentication, billing, and real-time features. I also bring a reliability mindset—automation with Playwright/Cypress, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, and production monitoring using Sentry—along with accessibility awareness (WCAG) so the end product is both high-quality and usable.
