What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my skills and experience in software engineering, DevOps, and leadership to drive innovation and growth.

I am a seasoned full-stack software engineer with a strong passion for technology and its impact on the world. With over 7 years of experience, I have developed a well-rounded skill set in front-end, back-end, and DevOps. I have a proven track record of improving processes, automating tasks, and developing DevEx tools. I am eager to support dev teams with my coding skills, best practices, and effective collaboration.

In my previous roles, I have worked on various projects, including developing internal apps and tools, improving deployment stability, and creating immutable infrastructure on AWS. I have also played a key role in achieving compliance with stringent security standards and ensuring adherence to regulatory privacy requirements.

I am now seeking new challenges and opportunities to leverage my skills and experience. I am confident in my ability to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and manage critical data transfers on a global scale.
