ABOUT ME

Full-Stack Developer
with 5 Years Experience

I architect and build production-grade distributed systems across the full stack. With 5 years of hands-on experience spanning fintech, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS, I've developed expertise in designing scalable microservices, optimizing system performance, and implementing robust data pipelines.

My work spans multiple business domains, from payment processing and merchant onboarding to healthcare EMR systems and HR automation. I bring a pragmatic approach to engineering: choosing the right tool for the job, writing maintainable code, and building systems that scale.
