    Software Engineer with 3+ years of experience building frontend applications, backend services, automated testing pipelines, and AI-powered developer tools. At my current company, I&#x27;ve improved Angular applications, built Spring Boot microservices with 100% unit test coverage, automated Playwright regression testing (reducing execution time from 2 hours to 30 minutes), and developed an AI-powered MCP server that generates Playwright tests from natural language, reducing test authoring from 45 minutes to under 2 minutes per spec. I enjoy building products end-to-end rather than working on isolated tickets. Recently I&#x27;ve been focused on AI developer tooling, RAG pipelines, MCP servers, and LLM-powered automation alongside traditional backend development.

    Some highlights:

    • Spring Boot microservices and REST APIs

    • Angular, React, Next.js, Node.js

    • AI Agents, MCP, RAG pipelines, vector databases

    • Playwright automation and developer productivity tools

    • AWS, CI&#x2F;CD, SQL

    I&#x27;m looking for a remote backend, full-stack, or AI engineering role where I can own features, work closely with a product team, and build software that ships to users. Startups and product companies are especially interesting.

    If you&#x27;re looking for an engineer who enjoys solving problems, automating repetitive work, and shipping production-ready software, I&#x27;d love to talk.
