Senior Software Engineer specializing in Java and cloud technologies.
What I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience in software development and architecture. My journey began with a strong foundation in Java programming, and I have since expanded my expertise to include a variety of technologies such as Kotlin, Python, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. I thrive in dynamic environments, particularly in the retail and justice sectors, where I have successfully led projects that enhance operational efficiency and security.
Throughout my career, I have held roles ranging from Java Developer to Senior Software Engineer, where I have not only contributed to the development of robust applications but also provided technical leadership and mentorship to my peers. My certifications, including AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Certified Kubernetes Application Developer, reflect my commitment to continuous learning and staying at the forefront of technology trends. I am passionate about building scalable solutions and ensuring high-quality software delivery through best practices in DevOps and agile methodologies.
