About me

I’m a Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building scalable, production-ready web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js, and SQL/NoSQL databases. I’ve worked on products used by thousands of users, focusing on performance, clean architecture, and maintainable code. My experience spans frontend-heavy and full-stack roles — from building responsive, high-performance UIs to integrating REST APIs, real-time features, and authentication systems. I’ve contributed to FinTech and SaaS platforms, improved page load times, and collaborated closely with backend, product, and QA teams in Agile environments. Recently, I’ve been working on AI-powered applications and developer tools, integrating LLMs and cloud services to automate workflows and improve system intelligence. I’m comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to work faster, while still relying on strong fundamentals and thoughtful engineering decisions. I enjoy solving real problems, learning new technologies, and building software that’s reliable, scalable, and easy to evolve. Currently open to frontend or full-stack opportunities, including remote and product-driven teams.
