Software Engineer and Systems Builder with a proven ability to independently design, develop, integrate, and deliver complex business-critical platforms from concept to working production-ready systems.
Solely developed a multi-carrier shipping system from the ground up, including reverse-engineering a proprietary tariff card into working code, API gateway integration, connectivity to major e-commerce marketplaces, CSV-based billing reconciliation (flat + vertical files), and an innovative pricing module using a hybrid FP + Procedural approach.
In just one month, self-taught DDD + Hexagonal architecture and migrated the entire codebase — delivering a fully tested working demo despite zero prior experience with these patterns.
Critically audited the new architecture and pinpointed major deficiencies: missing Aggregates and Domain Events, TypeScript used as glorified JavaScript, over-engineered AI-generated code slop, and a fragile, non-production-ready Dependency Injection implementation. Proactively filed actionable issues for each.
Problem Solver: I thrive on challenges and excel at
devising innovative solutions from scratch, leveraging my expertise and
creativity to overcome obstacles and achieve success.
AI: Leveraging AI tools for content creation, research,

experience, I am adept at collaborating effectively with teams across
different time zones, delivering high-quality results consistently.
Mobile App Development: As a self-taught mobile app
developer, I blend HTML5 with native code seamlessly, empowering me to
create dynamic and responsive mobile applications. I developed a game
from scratch within a month, which was successfully launched on the
Google App Store.
Data Migration: Experienced in seamlessly migrating data
across various E-commerce platforms, ensuring smooth transitions and
minimizing disruptions.
Blockchain: Possessing a fundamental understanding of
blockchain technology implementation, I am equipped to integrate
blockchain solutions into projects where applicable.
Python: Proficient in Python programming, I have
leveraged this versatile language to develop E-commerce sites and
execute simple machine learning tasks, further expanding the
capabilities of my projects.
Frameworks: Familiar with a range of front-end
frameworks such as Vue.js, Angular, React, and Polymer, as well as
back-end frameworks including Laravel, CakePHP, and Zend, I leverage the
best tools to streamline development processes and deliver optimal
results.
Containerization: Experienced in utilizing Docker for
