What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth and leadership.

I am a software developer with over 12 years of professional experience in building complex information systems. My career has been dedicated to creating robust and stable applications, primarily in the healthcare and financial sectors. Currently, I work as a Principal Software Developer at Oracle, where I lead the development of the Clinical One platform, streamlining workflows and enhancing data management for clinical research.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various technologies, including Java, REST APIs, and microservices. My experience spans multiple roles, from Android development to .NET applications, allowing me to bring a diverse skill set to any project. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative team environment, ensuring that we deliver high-quality solutions that meet our clients' needs.
