What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Software Engineering role where I can build and integrate backend services, improve client outcomes, and collaborate in Agile teams—while mentoring others and delivering secure, reliable releases.

I’m a software engineer who helps companies improve efficiency and client experience by creating and deploying software applications, then integrating systems with multiple clients and third-party applications. Since Nov 2021, I’ve been doing this in a corporate environment at Ziegler Group, focusing on practical delivery through sprint cycles and daily stand-ups.

Across my roles at DSV and Panalpina, I’ve supported productivity improvements and worked closely with product managers to clarify project scopes and align with business objectives. I also perform coding of software updates to introduce new features, close security vulnerabilities, and fix defects, while supporting junior engineers with advice on coding principles, best practices, and skill development.

Earlier work (BNP Paribas with Aubay) strengthened my backend and platform capabilities: Spring and Spring Boot, REST API development, SQL and NoSQL, and security-focused debugging/troubleshooting. I’ve also worked with version control (Git and SVN) and cloud/testing tooling (AWS services like SNS/SQS, S3, SES; LocalStack for testing), alongside Agile methodologies and SAFe (Scrum Master and Practitioner).
