About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer specializing in React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript — with deep roots in fintech and crypto exchange platforms. I don't just ship features; I architect systems that stay fast, stay reliable, and stay maintainable under real financial-world pressure. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦: • Production-grade experience with real-time trading UIs, order books, and live market data feeds • Performance-first engineering — optimized render cycles, efficient state management, and sub-second load times on data-heavy dashboards • Security-conscious frontend development in regulated, high-stakes environments • End-to-end ownership: from system design and architecture decisions to code review and mentorship • Clean, typed codebases that scale — no shortcuts, no tech debt left behind I've spent the last 4+ years at a crypto exchange building and owning complex infrastructure. I know what it takes to ship precision software when latency, accuracy, and uptime aren't optional. Open to Senior / Staff Frontend Engineering roles in fintech, crypto, or any product where technical quality is taken seriously.
