About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with more than 10 years of experience designing, developing, and scaling enterprise software platforms, SaaS applications, and cloud-native systems.

I build modern frontend applications and distributed backend services using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and Angular. I have extensive experience creating API ecosystems, reusable component architectures, and reliable integrations for complex business workflows.

I work with relational and NoSQL databases including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis, with a focus on data modeling, query optimization, performance, and scalable data access patterns.

I have hands-on cloud and DevOps experience with AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Git, and CI/CD pipelines. I support production systems through observability, logging, monitoring, troubleshooting, testing, and resilient architecture practices.

I also develop AI-powered software capabilities, including LLM API integrations, generative AI workflows, embeddings, vector search, prompt engineering, NLP, and retrieval-augmented generation. I apply these technologies to improve enterprise search, automation, and operational efficiency.

I contribute to technical leadership through architecture reviews, code reviews, engineering documentation, mentoring, system design, and collaboration with product, security, QA, and distributed engineering teams.
