Projects done

I'm a Full Stack Engineer with 5+ years of experience building and shipping scalable, high-performance web, mobile, and backend applications. Across the frontend and mobile, I command Angular, React, Next.js, Flutter, and React Native with deep attention to responsive architecture and delightful user experience.

On the backend, my engineering core is driven by three powerful foundations: Node.js for rapid, event-driven microservices, Java (Spring Boot) for enterprise-grade, robust backend architecture, and Rust (Axum) for memory-safe, ultra-low latency, and high-concurrency systems.

Experienced in architecting RESTful APIs, WebSocket streaming, and secure third-party payment integrations across fintech, e-commerce, SaaS, and legal tech domains in Agile team environments. I'm passionate about clean code, strong user experience, and continuously growing as an engineer.
