About

I am a Senior Fullstack Engineer with over 20 years of experience architecting and deploying robust, scalable systems. I specialize in developing end-to-end solutions leveraging Java (Quarkus), PHP (Laravel, Symfony), and JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js, Express, NestJS). On the frontend, I build high-performance interfaces using React, Next.js and React-Router, creating everything from modern web applications to sophisticated PWA mobile solutions. Expert in crafting high-performance React and Next.js applications. Currently, I am refining how AI can augment the traditional Scrum development process without compromising technical depth.

I believe the value of AI lies in its ability to streamline the SDLC under the guidance of a experienced developers. My focus is on intentional engineering: using AI to handle complex patterns while maintaining the human-in-the-loop oversight necessary to build truly robust, high-stakes technology. I thrive in high-trust cultures that prioritize human intuition and architectural ownership over automated output.
