About me

Over the course of my 10+ years in the software development industry, I have honed my expertise in various technologies, including React.js, Next.js, Nest.js, NX, Vue.js, Laravel, Symfony, AWS, DynamoDB, Docker, Fast API, and Flask, among others. As the Head of React Department at EPCVIP, I successfully led a team of 6 UX/UI and Senior full-stack developers, managing the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) for a robust NX mono-repo product, a unified front-end hub for all backend API’s services. My proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and RESTful APIs allowed me to contribute significantly to the development and architecture of scalable backend APIs. I am task oriented and over my management career I developed a process of maintaining a healthy work environment with mentorship and regular one-on-one sessions.

During my tenure as a Lead Development Architect at MGM Resorts International, I played a key role in designing and developing backend APIs using Symfony, Laravel, and Vue.js for enterprise-level projects, including the My MGM Web Services and the Enterprise Portal. I also possess strong project management skills and have a track record of delivering high-quality solutions within agile environments.

My current position of Lead Software Engineer at HMD and Symliv consists of 50% management of several projects and teams and 50% hands-on development in React, Next.js, Nest.js and Nuxt.js and leading the development of NX monorepo application for managing luxury gated communities.
