Background

Senior full-stack engineer with over 7 years of experience building calm, high-performance web products across the entire stack — from carefully crafted React and Next.js interfaces to robust backend systems and production infrastructure. I specialise in modern frontend engineering using TypeScript, Redux, Tailwind, Storybook, and comprehensive testing with Jest and Cypress, with a strong focus on accessibility, SEO, and real-world performance. On the backend, I design and deliver scalable services using Node.js, Python, Ruby on Rails, and Rust, working extensively with REST and GraphQL APIs, WebSockets, and real-time systems, as well as frameworks such as Express, Django, Flask, and FastAPI. I’ve also built production integrations involving payments, messaging, and event-driven systems using platforms like Stripe, Twilio, and serverless architectures. Beyond application code, I work deeply in cloud and DevOps environments, building and operating containerised systems with Docker and Kubernetes, automated through CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Helm. I’ve deployed and managed infrastructure across GCP and AWS, with a strong emphasis on reliability, observability, and security using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Terraform, Ansible, Traefik, Cloudflare, and Tailscale on Linux-based systems. From a data perspective, I’ve designed and maintained systems backed by PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis, and Firebase, and have experience building data pipelines, ETL workflows, and analytics/reporting layers to support business decision-making. Across AI platforms, e-commerce systems, and real-time communication products, I focus on clean architecture, strong engineering standards, and long-term maintainability. I value writing software that teams can confidently evolve, operate, and scale — balancing technical excellence with pragmatic delivery.
