What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing and delivering scalable enterprise applications. My expertise lies in utilizing technologies such as Angular, Java, and Spring Boot to develop secure and responsive applications within microservices architecture. I have a proven track record of translating complex business requirements into performant and maintainable solutions, ensuring high availability and security for applications serving millions of users.

Throughout my career, I have participated in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), employing Agile methodologies and SCRUM for iterative development. My recent role as a Java Full Stack Developer at S-Mobile involved designing and implementing RESTful APIs, optimizing front-end performance, and developing Progressive Web App features. I am adept at using CI/CD pipelines and containerized environments, which has allowed me to streamline deployment processes and enhance application reliability.

I am passionate about continuous learning and professional growth, currently pursuing AWS Certified Developer – Associate certification. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to delivering high-quality software solutions that meet user needs and drive business success.
