TypeScript • React / Next.js • Node.js / NestJS • Cloud, AI & RAG Delivery
Full-Stack Engineer (5+ years) delivering production web platforms end-to-end in both full-time and contract/B2B engagements. I build with React/Next.js, Node.js/NestJS, PostgreSQL/Prisma, REST/GraphQL, AWS, and production AI patterns including RAG pipelines with pgvector. Strong focus on modular architecture, secure integrations, observability, and CI/CD. Typical outcomes: ~40% workflow automation and ~30% faster deployments.

B2B Services
I collaborate with teams in full-time employment roles and contract/B2B engagements (full-time, part-time, or project-based). I provide reliable TypeScript delivery across frontend, backend, cloud, and AI-enabled systems with clear milestones, predictable execution, and production-grade quality standards.
End-to-End Product Delivery
From requirements and architecture to implementation, testing, CI/CD, and production support. I deliver TypeScript products with predictable milestones and measurable business outcomes.
Architecture & API Engineering
Design and implementation of modular backend systems with REST/GraphQL APIs, clear boundaries, and scalable patterns for microservices-oriented environments.
Cloud & DevOps Execution
AWS workloads (Lambda, ECS Fargate, S3, RDS, CloudWatch), Dockerized services, IaC with Terraform, and automated CI/CD pipelines for safer and faster releases.
Security & Production Hardening
Secure auth with OAuth2/JWT, webhook verification and idempotency, rate limiting, validation, secrets management, and practical OWASP-aligned protections.
Billing & Event-Driven Workflows
Stripe subscriptions and credits, resilient webhook handling, and background processing using Redis/BullMQ with retries/backoff and real-time progress updates.
AI Workflow Integration
Production AI features with OpenAI and Whisper, prompt engineering, RAG systems with pgvector retrieval, structured outputs, and privacy-aware workflows (including PII redaction) integrated into real products.

Selected Work
A curated set of production engagements focused on delivery, reliability, and measurable business outcomes.
Built and launched an AI-powered SaaS for meeting transcription and contract analysis (public beta). Implemented contract risk analysis (11 clause categories), sentiment signals, and action-item extraction using OpenAI GPT-4o. Added a global RAG chat system using pgvector, enabling contextual answers from previously uploaded and analyzed files. Added production observability with Sentry (errors + performance), structured logs, and actionable alerts. Implemented secure authentication (JWT/cookie-based, Google OAuth, beta access control) and hardened APIs with rate limiting, validation, and secure webhook handling (idempotency). Redis-backed BullMQ for background jobs (email delivery, transcription pipeline, document analysis) with Server-Sent Events for real-time progress updates. Whisper-based transcription with automatic PII redaction for GDPR compliance. Stripe subscriptions, metered usage, and webhook-driven billing with operational tooling for reliable processing.
