• Provision and manage infrastructure using AWS CDK and cloud-native best practices.
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines covering linting, testing, building, deployments, and environment management.
• Ensure production readiness through proper logging, monitoring, alerting, and observability.
• Build and maintain frontend applications using React and TypeScript, applying clean component architecture and performance optimizations.
• Collaborate closely with product, backend, and frontend teams to deliver cohesive full-stack solutions.
• Participate in architectural discussions, perform code reviews, and promote best engineering practices.

• Strong experience building full-stack apps with React, Node.js and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience with AWS serverless: Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB.
