What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can work on impactful projects and further develop my skills in backend and full-stack development.

I am a recent Computer Science graduate with hands-on experience in backend development and automation. My journey began at The City College of New York, where I honed my skills in programming languages such as Python, C#, and SQL. During my internship at Verisk, I developed scalable web applications and REST APIs, which ignited my passion for writing clean, testable backend code. I also improved QA automation and data workflows at TransPerfect, showcasing my ability to enhance efficiency and productivity.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that focus on building scalable, cloud-based systems. For instance, I co-led a team to create an assistive navigation app using Flutter and Google Maps API, emphasizing accessibility and user experience. My technical projects, including a full-stack restaurant web app and an e-commerce site, have further solidified my expertise in both frontend and backend development. I am now actively seeking opportunities in backend or full-stack software engineering roles where I can contribute to innovative solutions and continue to grow in the tech industry.
