I specialize in translating complex business requirements into maintainable systems, whether that’s architecting frontends in React and TypeScript, building backend services and integrating third-party APIs in Node.js, or designing data pipelines using AWS.Over the 6+ years, I’ve delivered end-to-end systems across industries like healthcare, telecom, agtech, education, and real estate, from greenfield MVPs to large-scale legacy modernizations.
