Core competencies

Languages, infra, leading a team, data stores, and cloud. The stuff I touch when building and releasing.

Languages & frameworks

React, Next.js, Redux, Node, NestJS, Fastify, Go, TypeScript, Python, Flutter. Web APIs, browser UI, and mobile when the project needs it.

AI & automation

Hooking up OpenAI or Claude, agent-style workflows, prompts that don't fall apart in prod, and glue code so the rest of the app stays maintainable.

Backend & infrastructure

REST APIs, services split where it makes sense, Postgres and MySQL, Docker, AWS. Built to stay up when traffic spikes.

Leadership

Owning architecture calls, mentoring, sprint planning, and talking to product or execs without losing the thread on what engineering actually needs.

Data stores

Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, Mongo, Redis. Schemas, indexes, and tuning when queries start hurting.

Cloud & delivery

AWS (Cognito, RDS, the usual suspects), Azure, Docker, GitHub Actions. Pipelines so deploys are boring on purpose.

Technical skills

Databases, clouds, CI, and the usual tooling when something ships for real.

Backend

APIs, SQL, caching, and profiling when latency or load becomes the problem.
