What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I'm a results-driven software development professional with nearly three years of hands-on experience in various technologies including Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Node, React, and SQL. My expertise lies in facilitating seamless communication between business stakeholders and technical teams, ensuring alignment, implementing complex features, and driving successful project outcomes.

At Fidelity Investments Canada, I spearheaded backend development for an internal fund-launch automation tool, building and integrating over 40+ RESTful API endpoints. This initiative cut manual processing time by 40%. My collaborative efforts in an Agile environment resulted in a 90%+ sprint deliverable completion rate over two years, showcasing my ability to streamline workflows and enhance team productivity.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong foundation in mentoring and supporting team members, which I achieved by reviewing GitHub PRs, pair-programming, and providing technical assistance. I am passionate about creating detailed technical documentation and conducting internal demos, which have significantly improved onboarding times and product adoption rates.
