Full Stack Engineer passionate about front end and microservices, focused on continuous learning.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate and experienced Software Engineer with a relentless drive for taking ownership of challenging projects and learning new things. Specialized in full stack development, with senior level expertise in front-end development, a solid foundation in full stack technologies and extensive experience in microservice architecture.
I started out very early in my career more as a web developer working with Wordpress, PHP and JavaScript on websites for a variety of different industries. As I advanced in my career and transitioned through various roles, I began engaging with more contemporary technologies and companies where the product, or products, relied heavily on the underlying technology for support. Some of the key technologies I worked with included React, TypeScript, Java, Kafka, Kubernetes, among many others..
This journey allowed me the opportunity to gain experience in large, complex systems, allowing me to contribute not only to the front-end UI of applications but also to crucial aspects of the internal infrastructure systems critical to business operations.
A career highlight I take great pride in is my tenure at BetterCloud, where I began as a Software Engineer and ascended to the role of Software Engineer III and Team Lead. The transformation and wealth of experiences I accumulated over those four years are invaluable to me. I am looking to find a new opportunity that will further propel my growth and continue my professional journey.
