Senior Software Engineer

I build scalable, reliable software — from geospatial platforms to payment systems.

About

I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over five years of experience building scalable software with TypeScript, Python, React, Next.js, and FastAPI. I turn innovative ideas into deployed, reliable software that meets evolving business needs.

Currently, I'm a Senior Software Engineer at xMap, where I build geospatial data and location intelligence platforms — integrating Stripe payments and AWS Cognito auth, designing multi-tenant architecture, and leading a serverless migration that cut infrastructure costs by 20%.
Previously, I worked at Turing, Simply Zibra, and Decision Labs across mapping tools, payment apps, and full-stack product engineering.

I work across the stack and in the cloud — AWS, Firebase, and GCP — with a focus on Test-Driven Development, CI/CD pipelines, and turning complex requirements into maintainable systems.
