About

Full-stack software engineer with experience building secure, scalable web systems across backend APIs, modern frontend applications, and cloud deployment workflows.

I design production-ready solutions with a security-first approach, focusing on clean architecture, performance optimization, and maintainable code.

Designed production-grade systems to handle concurrent users, asynchronous workloads, and resilient API flows.

  • Core stack: Python, Node.js, React, JavaScript, PHP
  • Data and cloud: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS, Docker
  • Engineering focus: REST APIs, JWT auth, testing, CI/CD, secure coding
  • Continuous learning: AI/RAG systems, cloud-native architecture, scalable platform design

I enjoy building systems that solve real problems and scale beyond initial use.
