About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with more than eight years of experience building, maintaining, and scaling web, mobile, and backend systems. I specialize in reliable, high-performance software for complex business domains, including banking, payments, property management, and social media platforms.

I work across PHP, JavaScript, TypeScript-oriented ecosystems, Go, Python, C#, Java, and Dart. My backend experience includes Laravel, Node.js, NestJS, Express, ASP.NET, REST APIs, WebSocket APIs, relational data modeling, and SQL performance optimization.

I have led frontend and backend engineering teams, conducted code reviews, mentored developers, and introduced processes that improve code quality and delivery reliability. I use TDD, unit and integration testing, CI/CD, debugging, and disciplined error-handling practices to reduce regressions and production incidents.

I have delivered applications using React, Svelte, Vue.js, Flutter, React Native, and other cross-platform technologies. My work includes payment systems handling more than one million transactions annually, AI-powered applications, real-time communication features, and SDK-style integrations.

I am experienced with cloud and DevOps environments including AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, Docker, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, Linux, and managed deployment platforms. I enjoy solving difficult technical problems, improving system architecture, and collaborating remotely with product and engineering teams.
