What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Developer who builds responsive, hands-on web and mobile experiences, with a strong focus on problem-solving and team collaboration. I’ve contributed to products like a mental health mobile application and an insurance web platform, prioritizing secure flows, structured user experiences, and maintainable code.
In recent roles, I led development of a modular ERP system, mentored interns, and implemented secure role-based access control and authentication/permissions. I integrate modern services using GraphQL and AWS Amplify, while consistently applying clean-code practices, reusable components, and reliable deployment workflows.
