What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can contribute to impactful projects and further develop my skills.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong background in full-stack development, specializing in ASP.NET Core and Angular. My journey in technology began at LinkPlus University, where I earned my degree in Computer Science and Engineering. Since then, I have led various projects, including the development of an integrated platform for the Football Federation of Kosova, which streamlined operations for national and local competitions.

In my current role, I am the lead software developer for AutoPoint, a comprehensive platform for car sales. I have successfully implemented CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker, ensuring efficient deployment and scalability. My experience also includes developing accounting software and managing lift operations, where I utilized my skills in .NET Core and Angular to deliver high-quality solutions that meet client needs.
