What I'm looking for

I’m currently seeking an engineering role in a progressive work environment where I can further build my skills and help teams realize both short and long term goals.

I’m a Senior Engineer focused on delivering reliable, test-driven engineering outcomes—building chatbot experiences, working with datalakes (Databricks), and strengthening quality through automated E2E testing. I also design and validate end-to-end ETL pipelines using BDD (behave) and support teams with code review and architecture tasks.

Previously, as a System Engineer, I led a major overhaul of a legacy Java API by replacing it with a Node.js solution, while designing new system architecture for scalability and maintainability. I’ve supported production clients through onsite work, containerized services with Docker, maintained Symfony codebases with PHPUnit, and also built and shipped web/mobile applications during freelancing and earlier roles.
