About
Full Stack Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and scaling web and mobile products across JavaScript and TypeScript. Deep expertise in React, Angular, and React Native on the frontend and Node.js/NestJS on the backend, backed by AWS, PostgreSQL, and real-time systems. For the last two years, focused on shipping production AI features — integrating LLM APIs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and AI-powered SaaS workflows that deliver real business value, not demos. Comfortable owning features end to end, designing scalable systems, and leading engineering teams.
