Senior Full-Stack Engineer | Django + React/Next.js | SaaS & AI

Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 4+ years building production systems for a major US ed-tech platform serving millions of learners and a Fortune-500 tech company's education and developer portals. I ship Django + React/Next.js applications that hold up under real traffic — not prototypes, not demos. WHAT I DELIVER - SaaS platforms from scratch — Django/DRF or FastAPI backends paired with React/Next.js frontends, deployed on AWS or GCP with full CI/CD pipelines (Docker, GoCD, GitHub Actions). - Micro-frontends and microservices — including BFF (Backend-for-Frontend) architectures, OAuth 2.0 auth flows (Google, Microsoft), and React Query/Redux data layers tuned for performance. - Legacy modernization — refactoring monoliths into modular services, adding observability (Datadog), and cutting deploy times with proper CI/CD. - AI-augmented delivery — I use Claude Code, Cursor, and agentic Figma-to-React workflows to ship production-grade UI in a fraction of the usual time, without the "AI-slop" tradeoffs. RECENT WORK - Sole front-end engineer on an intelligent scheduling SaaS product — architected from zero, OAuth integrations with Google and Microsoft, full design system, shipped production-ready. - Built micro-frontends and BFF services for a global online learning platform; participated in on-call rotation with Datadog-based observability. - Delivered LTI 1.3 (Learning Tools Interoperability) integrations on Flask + GCP for a Fortune-500 education platform. - Contributed to a CMS-driven developer documentation site using Wagtail (Django) + Jinja + PostgreSQL on GCP. - Built a video transcoding pipeline on Google Cloud (Transcoder API, FFmpeg, Cloud Functions, Firestore) for an enterprise media client. MY STACK Python (Django, DRF, Flask, FastAPI, Celery) · JavaScript/TypeScript · React.js · Next.js · Vue · PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis · Docker · Kubernetes · AWS · GCP · CI/CD HOW I WORK Clear scoping before code, daily updates, no surprises on timeline. I write tests, document handoffs, and stay reachable across time zones (I overlap 4+ hours with US Eastern). If you're building a SaaS, modernizing a Django/Python stack, or need a senior engineer who can own front and back end without a full team — send me the brief and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
