About

I’m a passionate Full-Stack Developer and mentor with over a decade of experience delivering high-impact, secure, and scalable solutions across a wide range of technologies. My core expertise includes PHP, C#, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, Express, MSSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, and Prisma, along with strong proficiency in Azure, CI/CD, Jest, Jenkins, GCP, and security testing. I’ve led teams through complex projects, hiring processes, and cloud infrastructure transformations, always striving to blend best practices with innovative approaches.

In my current role as Head of Web Development at Hyve, I guide a team of engineers through modernizing and automating deployments, integrating custom CMS solutions, and ensuring robust security measures. My leadership extends from technical decision-making to mentoring and career development, as I regularly conduct code reviews, one-on-ones, and performance assessments. Prior to this, I served as a Senior Front-End Developer and Front-End Developer, spearheading projects in headless CMS setups, scalable APIs, and full-stack integrations that drive significant revenue.

Beyond my professional achievements, I’m deeply committed to teaching and empowering others. I volunteer at Codebar, helping new developers transition into tech, and I provide mentorship on MentorCruise—focusing on coding best practices, career advice, interview prep, and portfolio development. Whether you need guidance on building distributed systems, refining your code, or navigating the industry, I’m here to help you reach your goals.

Let’s collaborate to transform your ideas into reality and pave the way for your success in the ever-evolving world of software development!
