    Software Engineer · ReserveBar

    Full-stack across NestJS backends and Next.js frontends — Stripe Connect end-to-end, Pulumi-provisioned Kubernetes, gRPC service-to-service.

    • ▸ Built and maintained full-stack features across NestJS backends and Next.js frontends, designing services for horizontal scale and long-term maintainability
    • ▸ Applied clean architecture principles and built reusable UI systems with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS, deliberately partitioning Next.js work between server and client components to reduce bundle size and improve time-to-interactive
    • ▸ Built a Kubernetes infrastructure from the ground up using Pulumi for IaC, designing the multi-pod topology and autoscaling strategy across staging and production environments
    • ▸ Implemented gRPC-based service-to-service communication with Protocol Buffers for type-safe contracts, reducing payload size and latency compared to REST across internal microservices
    • ▸ Designed a high-throughput webhook system supporting multiple upstream sources and fan-out delivery, with deduplication logic to guarantee idempotent event processing under bulk load
    • ▸ Owned the Stripe integration end-to-end — a multi-PaymentIntent Stripe Connect architecture across per-retailer accounts, full lifecycle ops (capture / refund / revision / multicapture / incremental auth), and a fault-tolerant reconciliation layer for partial-failure recovery

    Software Engineer · Kineton Albania

    Team lead across multiple internal + external projects — full SDLC from multi-environment configuration through release candidates and store publishing. React Native bare + Expo on mobile, micro-frontends with module federation on web.

    • ▸ Led multiple internal and external projects as team lead, organizing work across cross-functional contributors and owning the release train end-to-end
    • ▸ Shipped React Native apps across both bare workflows (custom native modules, manual signing, fastlane pipelines) and Expo (EAS Build, OTA updates) — picking the right one per project's native-integration depth
    • ▸ Built a micro-frontend architecture on the web using Webpack Module Federation — independently deployable remotes loaded by a host shell, shared singleton libs (React, design system), runtime version negotiation
    • ▸ Operated workloads on AWS — S3 + CloudFront for asset delivery, Lambda for serverless glue, Cognito for auth flows, IAM-scoped CI deploys
    • ▸ Contributed across the full SDLC — multi-environment configuration (dev/staging/prod), feature work, release candidates, code signing, and publishing to Google Play Store + App Store
    • ▸ Owned firebase usage across projects — Auth, Firestore, Cloud Messaging, Remote Config, Crashlytics — and the integration patterns between firebase and the rest of the stack
