What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in IoT and cloud technologies.

I am an experienced Software Engineer with a strong background in embedded systems, IoT, and cloud-based architectures. Currently, I lead a team at JLL/T, where I drive technical initiatives for Building Management Systems (BMS) with a focus on scalability, efficiency, and security. My expertise lies in designing AWS serverless solutions, integrating diverse BMS protocols, and optimizing system performance.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed teams and collaborated with cross-functional groups to deliver innovative solutions. Notably, I spearheaded the 1 Operator, 1 Building, 1 Day initiative, which streamlined operations and significantly reduced costs. My technical skills include proficiency in AWS services, Django, FastAPI, and various BMS protocols, enabling me to create robust and scalable systems.
