About

Professional summary

I am a senior full stack engineer with more than 11 years of experience delivering and operating production applications across developer platforms, fintech, healthcare, and consumer technology.

I specialize in building scalable web products with React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, and API-driven architectures. I take end-to-end ownership from product discovery and technical design through launch, monitoring, and iteration.

I have strong experience designing reusable UI systems, backend services, data models, REST APIs, billing workflows, integrations, and extensibility platforms. My work emphasizes performance, reliability, accessibility, security, and maintainable engineering practices.

I collaborate closely with Product, Design, Research, and Data partners to translate user needs into polished features and measurable product improvements. I use telemetry, experimentation, and user feedback to prioritize iterative enhancements.

I have improved workflow performance, optimized database queries and asynchronous processing, strengthened production observability, and reduced recurring support incidents. I am also experienced with incident response, production debugging, structured logging, and distributed tracing.

I enjoy mentoring engineers through code reviews and pairing, establishing reusable testing and observability patterns, and using AI-assisted development tools to improve delivery quality.
