About

Professional summary

I am a Solution Architect and Full Stack Engineer with more than 20 years of experience delivering enterprise software, cloud-native platforms, API ecosystems, and modernization programs.

I specialize in Node.js, TypeScript, Angular, React, Next.js, microservices, REST APIs, distributed systems, and multi-tenant SaaS architecture. I design maintainable, secure, scalable solutions from frontend applications through backend services and integrations.

I have hands-on cloud and DevOps experience across Microsoft Azure and AWS, including Docker, Kubernetes, AKS, Terraform, ARM templates, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD automation.

My backend background also includes .NET Core, C#, Java/Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, and AWS SQS. I focus on reliable production systems, high availability, performance, observability, and secure API design.

I have led architecture reviews, legacy modernization initiatives, technical planning, code reviews, and engineering mentoring. I enjoy helping teams adopt sound architecture practices, SOLID principles, clean design, and effective delivery processes.
