What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience, I have a proven track record of developing market-leading products and writing robust code to strengthen systems. My expertise lies in architecting microservices-based applications and implementing advanced technologies that enhance performance and user experience.

At JetBlue, I successfully architected and implemented a microservices-based online booking system, significantly reducing booking validation time and improving automation. My role involved designing RESTful APIs, developing event-driven architectures, and optimizing front-end performance, all while mentoring junior developers and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on delivering high-quality solutions, collaborating cross-functionally, and ensuring system reliability. I am eager to join a team that values creativity and innovation, where I can contribute my skills and continue to grow professionally.
