About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with more than 10 years of experience building high-scale web, mobile, and AI-powered products. I specialize in TypeScript, React, Node.js, and modern frontend architecture, with additional backend experience in Kotlin, Java, Python, and PostgreSQL.

I have led engineering teams and cross-functional initiatives delivering products used by millions of people. At Atlassian, I led architecture and delivery for a cross-product navigation platform serving more than 8 million daily users with 99.99% uptime.

Most recently, I have focused on agentic AI products, RAG integrations, LangChain workflows, and self-hosted LLM developer tools. I shipped an agentic-first product from initial commit to nationwide rollout in three months and built AI-assisted workflows that reduce engineering and accessibility remediation effort.

I am experienced in designing scalable frontend systems, defining frontend-backend API contracts, improving observability, and delivering secure real-time visualization systems. I rebuilt a WebGL rendering architecture that improved performance from 15 to 50 FPS for over 1,000 critical 3D entities.

I enjoy technical leadership through mentoring, architecture planning, interviewing, and establishing engineering standards. My background includes leading teams of engineers and contractors, collaborating closely with product and design, and delivering reliable products across web, mobile, cloud, and AI environments.

I am based in Abu Dhabi and work remotely with overlap across US and EU time zones. I am open to opportunities where I can lead and build impactful full-stack, frontend platform, or AI-enabled products.

Owned frontend-backend API contracts for AI memory capabilities, AI-assisted onboarding, and a third-party streaming integration, while partnering with designers on agent-driven interface patterns and interactive in-chat experiences.

Integrated RAG retrieval, LangChain-based agentic workflows, legacy systems, and white-label capabilities into a unified product. Built a self-hosted LLM development tool for in-context code modifications and an AI-assisted accessibility remediation pipeline that analyzed Jira audit tickets, generated code fixes, and opened pull requests.

Rebuilt a WebGL rendering architecture for a security-sensitive national project, increasing frame rates from 15 to 50 FPS and supporting smooth visualization of more than 1,000 critical 3D entities. Established frontend standards, reduced code complexity, and contributed to hiring, mentoring, and onboarding.

Full-Stack Software Engineer Atlassian

Defined and executed the long-term architectural strategy for the navigation platform, reducing feature delivery cycle time by 8x. Led a team of six engineers to launch in-product Confluence and Jira linking, generating an additional 2 million daily cross-product interactions.

Improved platform reliability to 99.99% uptime through stronger observability, production monitoring, and proactive incident detection. Mentored engineers through reviews and design discussions and interviewed more than 20 candidates.

Frontend & Mobile Developer Vanguard

Led four contractors in building a React Native personal investor mobile application and designed the long-term architecture for building, testing, and releasing to the iOS and Google Play stores.

Built the frontend and backend for a mobile-responsive web portal and mobile app using Angular, Java Spring, and PostgreSQL. The launch generated seven figures in AUD investments during its first week.

Mentored mobile developers, contributed Java microservices and UI testing, delivered accessibility fixes, and supported AWS infrastructure using SQS, SNS, and RDS.

Lead React & React Native Developer Spatial Vision

Led development of a cross-platform React Native mobile application and its React-based administration dashboard, supported by Node.js APIs.

Translated stakeholder requirements into technical implementation plans, made key UI and UX decisions, and mentored junior developers in React and React Native.

Founding Mobile & Full-Stack Engineer Go-Fetch

Served as founding engineer, building product features across AngularJS, React, iOS Objective-C, and Ruby on Rails. The work supported 300% company growth and expansion into Brisbane and Sydney.
