What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic company that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated software engineer with extensive experience in full-stack development, particularly in Python, React, and AWS. My journey has taken me through various roles, from freelance projects to senior positions, where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and deliver high-quality software solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed and mentored junior developers, improved software architecture, and implemented best practices for code quality. My work on innovative projects, such as an IoT waste management system and an AI medical note-taking app, showcases my commitment to leveraging technology for impactful solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
