About

I am a product-minded Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience shipping SaaS products, enterprise integrations, internal platforms, and developer tooling.

I thrive in ambiguous environments where systems, processes, and data are fragmented. My strength is identifying operational pain points, designing pragmatic solutions, and driving them from concept to adoption.

I am hands-on across React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, and React Native, with additional experience in Java, CI/CD, testing, and AI-assisted development workflows.
