About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications using Node.js and TypeScript. I specialize in architecting robust systems with GraphQL APIs, optimizing data layers, and integrating AI-powered workflows to streamline business operations.

My background includes leading the design of distributed systems using Kubernetes, and deploying microservices and containerized solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and cloud-ready. I thrive in collaborative environments—working closely with DevOps, frontend teams, and product stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutions that drive real impact.

I bring a balance of hands-on engineering, system design, and cross-functional leadership, making me a strong asset for high-growth teams looking to scale intelligently and sustainably.
