What I'm looking for

I seek a role building scalable backend and intuitive frontends in a collaborative, agile team that values modernization, cloud adoption, and continuous learning.

I am a resourceful, results-driven Full Stack Developer with over 5 years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining scalable web applications across the full software development lifecycle.

I build secure, efficient backend services using Java and Spring Boot while contributing to responsive frontend interfaces with Angular, HTML, and CSS. I have modernized services, reduced boilerplate code, and improved deployment speed and maintainability.

My work includes migrating legacy systems, developing RESTful APIs, supporting C# .NET applications, and producing SQL queries and SSIS jobs for data analytics and production updates. I continually document technical workflows and author user stories to align engineering with business needs.

I am pursuing an AWS Certified Developer Associate certification to expand cloud and AI-integrated capabilities and have experience leveraging tools such as Jenkins, Git, ChatGPT, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate development and automation.
