I have a proven track record of leading agile teams, mentoring developers, and delivering high-impact projects for both startups and enterprises.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led the architecture and development of various SaaS-based applications, significantly improving customer retention and scalability. My technical skills include mastery of JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Node.js, and cloud services like AWS and Azure. I am passionate about optimizing performance and have implemented strategies that resulted in substantial improvements in application efficiency.

In addition to my technical capabilities, I take pride in my leadership skills, having trained over 30 junior developers on best practices and performance optimization techniques. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to contribute to team success through mentorship and agile methodologies.
