About

I am a full-stack engineering lead with 10+ years of experience across healthcare software, enterprise systems, test automation, APIs and web applications. My current work centers on React, TypeScript and Java, with Docker, Kubernetes and Argo for production delivery.

I combine hands-on implementation with technical leadership: architecture decisions, code quality, developer support and pragmatic delivery. The selected work below shows that range through performance, reliability, AI prototypes, research and side projects.
