About

Full-Stack Developer with hands-on experience building production-grade platforms used by real merchants, partners, and business stakeholders. At CleverPe, I owned front-end and back-end development for a merchant-facing fintech platform — reducing page load times by 35% (Lighthouse 90+), cutting lender onboarding time by 40% by integrating multi-lender gateways (Cashe, Zype) with encrypted, signature-based flows, and building an admin dashboard with role-based access, JWT authentication, and MongoDB Aggregation Pipelines. API documentation I authored improved cross-team development speed by 20%. At Fika AI, I build and ship client-facing automation systems — from AI-powered chat assistants and copilots to real-time analytics dashboards and automated data pipelines — using Next.js, Node.js, AWS, and LLM integrations (OpenAI, Gemini, Vision AI). I handle the full cycle: ETL, third-party API integrations, GenAI feature development, and deployment. My stack: React.js, Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, Express.js, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), AWS, Docker, Firebase, and LLM/GenAI tooling. I don't just write code — I own outcomes. If you're building something that needs to scale, perform, and actually ship, let's talk.
