01About

I've engineered AI-driven platforms in Node.js/TypeScript and SaaS products that delivered 2× user growth through high-performance applications — from architecting business ecosystems like DUMO to integrating AI transcription and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure.

My range spans the full lifecycle: REST API design, scalable backends, and polished React/Next.js frontends. I'm a Scrum-certified engineer who bridges frontend innovation with backend scalability — and I like shipping.
