I have hands-on expertise in multiple programming ecosystems including Java, C#, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Rust, and PHP, and I am proficient with modern frameworks such as Spring Boot, React/Next.js, .NET Core, Django, Laravel, React Native, and Flutter. My experience extends to cloud-native architectures on AWS, GCP, and Azure, where I have worked on microservices, AI/ML-powered features, real-time systems, and serverless platforms. I am comfortable working end-to-end on a product, covering architecture, API design, UI, deployment, and CI/CD processes, or integrating into existing teams to fill technical gaps. Throughout my career, I have contributed to complex projects including AI-powered SaaS platforms, payments curation systems, and telecom enterprise products, always focusing on delivering reliable and scalable software. My technical skills span backend and frontend development, mobile app creation, AI/ML integration, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and database optimization. I have led cross-functional teams, introduced CI/CD pipelines, and helped migrate legacy systems to modern serverless architectures, improving deployment frequency and system performance. I am a clear communicator who values honest estimates, regular updates, and minimal surprises. I thrive in team-oriented environments where I can lead, support, or plug into existing teams. I am passionate about building software that is reliable, maintainable, and observable, and I continuously seek to expand my technical coverage across backend, frontend, mobile, cloud, and AI domains. Currently, I am available for full-time roles, long-term contracts, and project-based engagements, preferably remote. I look forward to contributing my expertise to innovative projects that leverage cloud and AI technologies to solve real-world problems. ## Skills 28 capabilities[Angular](https://jobicy.com/talent/angular.md)[AWS S3](https://jobicy.com/talent/aws-s3.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Django](https://jobicy.com/talent/django.md)[Docker](https://jobicy.com/talent/docker.md)[Express](https://jobicy.com/talent/express.md)[Flask](https://jobicy.com/talent/flask.md)[Flutter](https://jobicy.com/talent/flutter.md)[Git](https://jobicy.com/talent/git.md)[Java](https://jobicy.com/talent/java.md)[Jira](https://jobicy.com/talent/jira.md)[Kubernetes](https://jobicy.com/talent/kubernetes.md)[Laravel](https://jobicy.com/talent/laravel.md)[Microservices](https://jobicy.com/talent/microservices.md)[MongoDB](https://jobicy.com/talent/mongodb.md)[MySQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/mysql.md)[NestJS](https://jobicy.com/talent/nestjs.md)[PHP](https://jobicy.com/talent/php.md)[PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/postgresql.md)[Postman](https://jobicy.com/talent/postman.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[React Native](https://jobicy.com/talent/react-native.md)[Redis](https://jobicy.com/talent/redis.md)[Spring Boot](https://jobicy.com/talent/spring-boot.md)[Team Leadership](https://jobicy.com/talent/team-leadership.md)[TensorFlow](https://jobicy.com/talent/tensorflow.md)[Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent/terraform.md)[TypeScript](https://jobicy.com/talent/typescript.md) ## Experience Career history ### Independent Software Developer & Founder · Self-Employed Jan 2022 – PresentContributed to LendingHouse, an AI-powered SaaS lending platform spanning web and native iOS/Android apps, with work across authentication, billing, vector search, and real-time chat.
