What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am an Associate Software Engineer with a BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering, currently working at Syntax Genie. My role involves SDK development for hierarchical content management, where I co-led the creation of a custom development framework that significantly reduced development effort by unifying implementation flows. I am passionate about building scalable and maintainable applications, leveraging my skills in Java, Spring Boot, and React.

In addition to my technical skills, I have experience in managing development teams, ensuring quality deliverables through close collaboration with QA teams. My leadership in task management using JIRA has helped align our efforts with sprint goals and project milestones. I thrive in environments that challenge my problem-solving abilities and allow me to contribute to innovative projects.
