What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in software development with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a seasoned software engineer with a strong background in modern software development life cycle techniques. With over 4 years of experience, I have developed a passion for creating efficient and scalable software solutions that meet customer needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked on various projects, from front-end development using React and Next.js to back-end development using Java and Spring. I have also gained experience in microservices, RESTful web services, and cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure.

I am a strong believer in the importance of teamwork, mentoring, and continuous learning. I have worked with cross-functional teams to design and implement AI-driven solutions, and I have also led biweekly user testing sessions to gather feedback and enhance UI elements.
