ABOUT ME
As a Senior Engineer, my primary focus is leveraging Node.js, TypeScript, and React to design and scale open-source cloud applications and distributed microservices. I bring extensive experience in monolithic system decomposition, distributed architecture patterns, and relational database modeling.
I am highly passionate about combining modern open-source stacks with intelligent systems—including engineering AI agents and implementing advanced Azure AI cloud solutions—to build performant, sustainable architectures that solve complex business and operational challenges.
