About

From requirements to production

I'm a Senior Software Engineer focused on full-stack systems, backend architecture, and cloud delivery. I work mainly with React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP, and I'm comfortable owning work from implementation through deployment and production support.

I also work directly with clients: turning requirements into technical plans, communicating progress, and keeping delivery clear and practical.
