What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in software development and cloud technologies to drive impactful projects.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing, developing, and deploying robust enterprise web applications. My expertise spans various technologies including Node.js, Java, Python, and Ruby on Rails for backend development, and React, Angular, and TypeScript for frontend solutions. I have a strong background in leveraging AWS cloud services to build scalable and resilient applications, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and implemented microservices architectures and RESTful web services, optimizing service performance and scalability. At Twilio, I developed a backend microservice for real-time communication, integrated advanced features using AI algorithms, and mentored junior developers to enhance team productivity. My role at Shopify involved creating an e-commerce analytics dashboard and improving site reliability during peak events, demonstrating my ability to deliver high-quality, maintainable code in Agile environments.
