What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I'm a full-stack software engineer with over 13 years of experience in building scalable web applications for startups and high-growth tech companies. My expertise lies in modern JavaScript frameworks and backend technologies, including Node.js, Python, Java, Go, and Ruby on Rails. I have a proven track record of designing APIs, leading product features from concept to completion, and optimizing performance in complex systems.

Throughout my career, I have focused on enhancing developer experience, maintaining clean architecture, and fostering cross-functional collaboration in fast-paced environments. At Nextiva, I played a key role in developing scalable healthcare platforms, improving frontend load times by 35% and backend performance by 30%. My commitment to quality is evident in my rigorous testing practices, which have significantly reduced production defects.

I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and sharing knowledge to foster professional growth within my teams. I thrive on challenges and am always eager to learn new technologies and methodologies to enhance my skill set and contribute to innovative projects.
