About

Full-stack engineer with 12+ years of experience scaling enterprise CMS, performance-driven marketing platforms, and developer tooling across high-growth B2B SaaS and agencies. I’ve evolved from executing complex, large-scale system migrations to architecting both high-availability backend infrastructure and seamless frontend user experiences. By leading and building cross-functional engineering squads, I drive measurable business outcomes across the entire stack from reducing backend API latency by 50% and improving platform stability through robust SRE practices, to driving aggressive Core Web Vitals (CWV) optimizations that drastically enhance client-side performance. Also focusing on WCAG compliance along with building Themes and Plugins from scratch. My recent focus is on AI-augmented full-stack development. I have spearheaded strategies to integrate AI safely and effectively into the SDLC. By engineering custom Figma-to-MCP (Model Context Protocol) server pipelines and structured SDD frameworks, I’ve bridged the design-to-code gap, automating frontend component scaffolding and accelerating overall team velocity by 25% while maintaining strict deployment governance. I partner with leadership, PMs, QA and designers, authoring technical RFCs to ensure architecture aligns with business goals. I bridge the gap between backend optimization (object caching/cloud) and pixel-perfect, responsive frontend interfaces. I thrive where end-to-end performance matters, balancing infrastructure cost-efficiency with modern AI orchestration. Open to WordPress Architect, technical strategy and full-stack engineering leadership roles with opportunities to drive systemic scaling and innovation.
