I go deep to understand how things work. I prefer clean code — without sacrificing performance. I love both frontend and backend, and I’m always happy to share what I learn.
- Building fast, scalable apps across frontend (React, Web Components, GraphQL) and backend (Node.js, Python).
- Architecting solutions, documenting decisions, and lifting Developer Experience with better tooling, tests, and CI.
- Real-time comms, eCommerce, finance, and healthcare domains.
Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, C#, ReScript, SQL, Kotlin
Frontend: React, Redux/Relay/Saga, Web Components, HTML5/CSS3, WebRTC, Service Workers
Backend & APIs: Node.js, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Spring
Infra & DevOps: AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Nginx/Apache, Heroku
Quality: Jest, Karma, Enzyme, Playwright, CI/CD
Many of these are battle-tested across projects in finance, messaging, and commerce.
