About me

Engineering products that scale, perform & last

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years architecting and shipping scalable, high-performance systems across the full stack. I work end-to-end — robust backends and services with Node.js (NestJS), microservices and well-designed data layers on PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Redis, alongside fast, accessible frontends with React, Next.js, Vue.js and TypeScript, deployed on AWS.

I've led and mentored engineering teams, scaled platforms to hundreds of thousands of active users, and shipped AI-driven features into production — with a relentless focus on system design, performance tuning and great user experience.
