What I'm looking for
I am a proactive and motivated Full-stack Software Engineer with 9 years of experience in building scalable web applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js. My journey has been marked by a strong focus on code quality, reusability, and maintainability, which I believe are essential for delivering impactful, user-focused solutions.
In my current role as a Lead Software Engineer at Harver, I lead a cross-functional team responsible for mission-critical features, overseeing project delivery and mentoring junior developers. I have played a key role in performance improvements and collaborated closely with stakeholders to define product roadmaps. My previous experiences have equipped me with the skills to design and develop internal tools, manage serverless integrations, and contribute to backend APIs, all while thriving in fast-paced environments.
My passion for technology drives me to stay current with evolving trends, and I am committed to fostering a collaborative team culture that encourages growth and innovation. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise to a new challenge where I can continue to make a significant impact.
