About

CTO / Head of Engineering with 6+ years of experience building full-stack web and mobile products in fast-paced, early-stage environments. I specialize in designing scalable architecture, managing cloud infrastructure, and leading small, agile engineering teams with a strong hands-on focus. My tech stack centers around React, Next.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Docker, with CI/CD pipelines built using GitHub Actions. I also bring solid experience with Python, FastAPI, and applying Generative AI models, such as event-driven data summarization and face-vector-based image matching at scale. From SDK development to cloud migration (Azure to AWS) and mobile app releases (Flutter on iOS and Android), I enjoy combining product sense with deep technical execution, building systems that are fast, stable, and user-centric.
