With over 10 years of full-stack engineering experience across healthcare, communications, and e-commerce, I have a proven track record of designing scalable, secure, and resilient systems. I specialize in modern frameworks like React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python/Django, and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, with deep expertise in CI/CD, IaC, real-time systems, and distributed architectures. My leadership in greenfield project development, optimizing performance, and mentoring teams has consistently driven measurable improvements. I am seeking a senior engineering role where I can leverage my technical skills and leadership to build innovative solutions, mentor teams, and contribute to impactful projects.
