What I'm looking for
I am a FullStack Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience in designing and building performant software solutions using Kotlin, Typescript, and Dart. My focus on clean code and proper testing ensures application reliability and reduces total cost of ownership. I thrive on applying the most appropriate technology to each task, following SDLC practices and test-driven development (TDD), while continuously learning and teaching others.
In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at Touch Inspiration, I identified and resolved critical software bugs, leading to a 95% decrease in application failures. I also led the creation of a multi-module application that aggregates transaction history and forecasting data, enhancing client credit assessments. My commitment to mentoring junior engineers has established best practices and fostered a culture of continuous learning within my team.
Previously, at Savannah Informatics, I championed a code quality standards playbook that improved maintainability and scalability across the organization. I successfully led the development of a scalable consumer marketplace product, contributing to an 83% revenue growth. My experience spans various domains, including insurtech and e-commerce, where I have consistently delivered impactful solutions that drive business success.
