I set container-platform strategy and deployment guardrails for six product teams using Kubernetes on EKS, Terraform, and ArgoCD GitOps. I authored AWS standardization RFCs, implemented spot-instance and autoscaling practices, and helped reduce environment drift, cloud cost, and time to production.

I lead CI/CD, release-management, SRE, monitoring, incident-response, and capacity-planning practices using GitHub Actions, Prometheus, runbooks, and post-incident reviews. I also build full-stack and AI products, including a Next.js recruitment platform, a RAG recruitment pipeline, React Native social features, an EV repair application, and SEO initiatives across multiple websites.

I engineered BGRemove, an AI background-removal product built in Next.js that runs fully client-side with transformers.js and WebAssembly. The implementation avoids server uploads and keeps user data on the device.

I also established technical SEO and answer-engine optimization practices for the company website and subdomains, improving discoverability in traditional search engines and AI assistants.

I owned SEO strategy for a portfolio of mobile applications, CMS panels, and developer blogs in the React Native ecosystem. My work increased organic traffic by 200% year over year and grew monthly readership to more than 100,000.

I structured technical content for answer engines using JSON-LD entities, knowledge-graph markup, featured-snippet targeting, and AI-overview-oriented content practices. I also wrote and optimized technical blog content end to end.

I delivered more than 15 web and mobile products for fintech, healthcare, and logistics clients across African startups and European SMEs. My implementations included React and Next.js frontends, React Native applications, and Node.js, FastAPI, and Firebase backends.

I owned engagements from scoping, architecture, and estimation through implementation, deployment, handover, and support. Client satisfaction averaged 4.8 out of 5.

I implemented the production React user interface for a school-enrollment platform supporting more than 50 schools and 10,000 student records. I translated Figma designs using React and Tailwind CSS, helping reduce enrollment processing time by 40%.

I introduced React Native to the organization, delivered its first mobile application, and established reusable component patterns. I also mentored three junior developers through code review and pair programming.

I built ERP systems and backend services with Node.js and Python, shipping my first production code within a professional engineering team.

I contributed to client-facing web applications and internal tools, establishing the engineering foundations that supported my later senior and staff-level roles.

I am a core maintainer of Galio, an MIT-licensed React Native UI framework with more than 3,200 GitHub stars and 325 forks. I led a TypeScript-first modernization of over 40 components and cross-platform templates to improve type safety and developer experience.

I rewrote the documentation site in Docusaurus with live component demos and improved its search discoverability. I regularly perform issue triage, pull-request reviews, community support, and mentoring within the React Native and TypeScript communities.

Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering with honors. Received the Outstanding Full Stack Developer honorary award from the Software Engineering Club in 2025 and a Zemenay Tech Hackathon Project Award in 2026.
