About

A results-oriented Senior Full Stack Engineer with 9+ years of experience in native mobile development (iOS/Flutter) and 2+ years specializing in highly scalable backend systems (Golang/C#) and API Gateway architecture. I thrive in fast-paced e-commerce environments, focusing on platform modernization and accelerated feature delivery. My Core Expertise Includes: • Architectural Leadership: Driving large-scale initiatives like Server-Driven UI (SDUI) implementation and platform migration projects, including architecting a Contract Migration framework that eliminated 100% of API gateway dependencies and cut rollout time by over 40%. • Full-Stack Delivery: Leading complex, end-to-end feature delivery, encompassing microservices development, data integration, and mobile implementation, with a focus on observability, real-time tracking, and automated content scheduling via CMS. • Performance & Quality: Spearheading quality initiatives such as the migration from REST to GraphQL (reducing network latency by 30%) and designing innovative client-side UI Test frameworks that drastically cut development time. • Team & Platform Enablement: Acting as a mentor and technical leader, I focus on onboarding and enabling cross-functional teams (including engineers, Product, and Content Ops) with self-serve tools and robust documentation to maximize efficiency and independence. I am passionate about leveraging technical excellence to solve complex business problems at scale and drive measurable company growth.
