What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can contribute to building scalable web applications and secure APIs, grow in real-world engineering practices, work in collaborative Agile teams, and continue learning backend and blockchain technologies.

I am a Full-Stack Developer with hands-on experience building responsive web apps and secure APIs using React, Spring Boot, Node.js, and Django. I hold a BSc in Software Engineering and professional certificates in backend and blockchain development.

I've delivered freelance projects for small businesses, managing clients, timelines, and deliverables independently while strengthening my technical and problem-solving skills. I am certified in Hashgraph development and have practical experience with Python, Java, JavaScript (ES6+), and several databases.

I collaborate effectively in Agile teams, bridge technical and non-technical audiences, and seek real-world opportunities to sharpen my skills and deliver scalable, maintainable solutions.
