DOSSIER // SHRZ-001

I'm a Principal Full-Stack Engineer who turns complex public-sector and enterprise workflows into dependable software. I own systems end to end — Laravel, React, Node.js, NestJS and GIS platforms — from data model and API to the deployment pipeline, across government, healthcare and enterprise.

My backend range includes Python FastAPI services in production alongside PHP and Node.js. Beyond the web I build Windows software in C# (WinForms & WPF), cross-platform apps in Electron.js, Android apps with Firebase and Arduino embedded systems in C/C++ — so I can own the whole chain, from hardware signal to dashboard.

DOSSIER // WHO AM I

Who am I?

I build the software that public institutions and growing businesses actually run on — and I stay accountable for it after launch.

My strength is turning messy, multi-stakeholder workflows — forest-fire complaints routed across seven official roles, assets tracked by QR, plantations verified by GPS — into secure systems people actually adopt.

I've led the team when the lead was away, automated releases with GitHub Actions, and kept production healthy on Linux, DirectAdmin and AWS.

From the network layer to the application layer — across web, desktop, Android, GIS and embedded — I can take a problem from first sketch to a running, monitored system.
