I am a detail-oriented and adaptable Senior Software Engineer with over 9 years of hands-on experience in Ruby on Rails development, AI integration, and full-stack engineering.

My expertise lies in enhancing system performance through efficient database modeling, cloud deployments (Azure, AWS), and CI/CD practices.
Throughout my career, I have led the development of automation workflows, modernized backend logic, and designed secure RESTful APIs. My commitment to test-driven development has significantly reduced regression bugs and improved code scalability across microservices. I thrive in collaborative environments, aligning application logic with product goals while contributing to technical documentation and peer reviews.
I am passionate about creating user-centric solutions and driving innovation through emerging technologies. My experience spans various roles, where I have developed internal tools, integrated third-party APIs, and migrated legacy codebases to modern tech stacks, all while fostering a strong engineering culture.
