What I'm looking for
I am a young software engineer with industry experience, dedicated to working alongside highly efficient teams. My journey has been marked by a commitment to best practices and the utilization of the latest tools and techniques in software development. Currently, I am honing my skills at IG Group, where I work with Ruby microservices in the FinTech ecosystem, ensuring that our services are up to date and seamlessly integrated with other vendors.
Previously, I contributed to Monterail as a Ruby on Rails Developer, where I thrived in fast-paced Agile teams. My role involved translating business requirements into functional specifications, optimizing applications for increased client traffic, and mentoring junior developers. I take pride in my ability to build new features while maintaining a robust codebase, ensuring that our applications are both scalable and efficient.
In addition to my technical expertise, I have taken on freelance roles, such as Engineering Manager at Jalappeno, where I focus on improving the restaurant owner experience through innovative Ruby and Next.js applications. My continuous learning journey includes courses on Linux Kernel Development and Penetration Testing, which further enhance my understanding of software intricacies and security vulnerabilities.
