What I do

Full-stack, with real depth where it matters.

Not just frontend, not just backend. I care about how the whole system is designed, integrated, deployed and kept healthy in production.

Backend & cloud

Node.js and TypeScript services on serverless, event-driven AWS architectures — Lambda, SQS with dead-letter queues and redrive, RDS.

Frontend platforms

Angular, React and framework-agnostic design systems with Lit and Web Components that every app can share.

Data & databases

PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, DynamoDB. Schema design, complex SQL, ETL pipelines and data warehouses.

Applied AI

LLM applications that do real work: AI agents, tool calling against live systems, RAG over documents, WhatsApp channels.

How I work

From data model to production — and after.

01

Model

Understand the business, then design the data and the boundaries.

02

Build

Backend, frontend and integrations, reviewed and tested.

03

Ship

Deploy on AWS, GCP or Linux servers with Docker.

04

Operate

Monitor, support and keep improving what's live.

Experience
