About Me
Get to know me better
I’m a Senior Full-Stack Software Developer with over a decade of experience architecting scalable web and mobile applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React Native, and modern frameworks like Next.js and NestJS. My career spans startups and enterprise environments, where I’ve led migrations, optimized cloud infrastructure, and mentored teams to deliver reliable, user-focused solutions.
My Approach: I believe in writing clean, maintainable code that scales. I’m a strong advocate for test-driven development, CI/CD automation, and observability practices that keep systems resilient. Having worked across diverse industries—from fintech to SaaS—I bring a pragmatic perspective on balancing speed, quality, and long-term sustainability.
What I Do: I specialize in building full-stack applications and cloud-native architectures, leveraging AWS services (Lambda, ECS, RDS, SQS, Cloudflare Workers) to deliver robust platforms. Recently, I’ve focused on integrating AI-driven capabilities into applications, exploring tools like OpenAI’s GPT models and TensorFlow to enhance user experiences.
Beyond coding, I contribute to open-source projects, write technical content, and mentor aspiring developers. Outside of tech, I enjoy playing soccer, spending time with my family, and continuously learning new technologies to share with the community.
