About
I’m a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 12+ years of experience building and scaling high-performance, production-grade web platforms. I specialize in TypeScript, React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, Node.js, and cloud-native infrastructure, with deep experience designing API-first systems and distributed backend services that operate reliably at scale.
Most recently, I’ve worked on high-traffic consumer platforms where performance, scalability, and system design directly impact business outcomes. I’ve led initiatives involving frontend architecture optimization, real-time backend services, and AI-powered features — including recommendation systems and LLM integrations — delivering measurable improvements in engagement, latency, and reliability.
I’m particularly interested in solving complex systems problems at the intersection of product and infrastructure: scalable APIs, ingestion pipelines, data modeling, caching strategies, observability, and production AI systems. I enjoy turning ambiguous ideas into clean technical designs and collaborating closely with product, design, and research teams to ship thoughtful, high-impact features.
Beyond engineering execution, I bring strong ownership, attention to detail, and a continuous learning mindset. I’m motivated by building tools and platforms that remove friction, empower users, and drive meaningful business growth.
Work Experience
At Groupon, I worked as a Senior Full Stack Engineer building and scaling high-traffic consumer platforms using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. I translated ambiguous product requirements into reliable, production-ready systems, partnering closely with product and design to deliver features that directly impacted user engagement and revenue.
I led performance and scalability improvements across the stack — reducing page load times by 30% and lowering bounce rates by 20% through rendering optimizations, code splitting, API improvements, and caching strategies. I designed and evolved REST and GraphQL APIs, optimized PostgreSQL and Redis-backed services, and improved system throughput for high-volume traffic environments.
Beyond feature delivery, I contributed to system reliability and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS (EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFront), participating in incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term stability improvements. I also worked on AI-powered personalization initiatives, integrating ML-driven recommendations to enhance user experience and business performance.
At BeeTech, I worked as a Full Stack Developer delivering scalable applications for startup and enterprise clients in fast-paced, evolving environments. I built and maintained full-stack systems using Node.js, React, Angular, Vue.js, Python/Django, Golang, and Spring Boot, translating business requirements into reliable, production-ready solutions across multiple domains.
I improved frontend architecture by developing reusable TypeScript-based components and optimizing state management, reducing development time by 15% and improving page load performance by 30%. On the backend, I designed and integrated RESTful APIs, resolved data consistency and performance issues, and supported microservices architecture initiatives to improve scalability and fault isolation.
I also contributed to cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, deploying containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes, and automating provisioning with Terraform. Additionally, I developed Ethereum smart contracts and Web3 applications for production use cases. Working closely with clients and cross-functional teams, I helped deliver high-quality releases while continuously improving deployment reliability through CI/CD practices.
