About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Software Engineer with more than eight years of experience building scalable web applications, enterprise software, APIs, databases, and microservices. My core backend expertise includes Node.js, Laravel, Nest.js, Python, PHP, SQL, and RESTful API development.

I build polished frontend experiences with React, Vue.js, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt.js, TypeScript, Redux, Vuex, HTML, CSS, and Tailwind CSS. I focus on producing responsive, maintainable, and pixel-accurate interfaces that improve usability and performance.

I have experience delivering high-impact products for financial services, travel, e-commerce, community advocacy, SaaS, and NFT platforms. My work includes applications serving more than 100,000 users, reusable component libraries, alerting systems, and full-stack business platforms.

I am experienced in database engineering and cloud-native development, working with PostgreSQL, MySQL, Supabase, DynamoDB, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. I prioritize reliable architecture, secure reporting, automated testing, and maintainable deployment processes.

I enjoy collaborating across engineering, legal, advocacy, and product teams to turn complex needs into useful software. I also mentor junior developers through code reviews, technical guidance, software architecture discussions, and engineering best practices.

I bring a solution-oriented, results-driven approach to every project. I am particularly interested in building robust full-stack systems and AI-assisted tools that provide meaningful value to users and communities.
