ABOUT ME
I am a Senior Software and Web Developer with 17+ years of hands-on experience delivering innovative, scalable, and high-performing web and eCommerce solutions. I have worked across a wide spectrum of industries, from enterprise-level logistics and government systems to Shopify storefronts, SaaS platforms, and mobile applications.
On Upwork, I hold a Top Rated Plus badge with a 100% Job Success Score, over $100K in total earnings, and 63 completed contracts, a track record built on reliability, clear communication, and consistently shipping quality work.
My background spans full-stack development, eCommerce architecture, API integrations, team leadership, and Agile project management. I am equally comfortable diving deep into code as I am coordinating with stakeholders, managing sprints, and mentoring developers.
