About
I'm a Senior Full-stack Engineer at Toptal with 12 years of experience building and maintaining robust web applications.
I've delivered software across a range of industries and team structures—from high-growth startups to established enterprises—solving real-world problems with clean, scalable solutions.
On the front end, I focus on React, TypeScript, and CSS Modules.
On the back end, I usually reach for Node.js, but when performance or architecture call for it, I lean on .NET.
With over 6 years of remote work experience, I thrive in distributed teams and bring a reliable, self-directed work ethic to every project.
