What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and fosters growth, ideally in a collaborative environment that values innovation and efficiency.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong focus on developing clean and reliable systems using C#, Golang, and Python. My passion lies in creating technology that simplifies life and enhances user experience. Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that not only improved operational efficiency but also generated significant revenue for my clients. For instance, I designed a Just-In-Time invoicing system that is projected to save $3 million annually and automated payment processes that recovered over $300,000.

My experience spans various roles, including working with Andela and Frontdoor Inc., where I took ownership of backend services and improved API response times. I have a proven track record of integrating secure payment systems and enhancing communication platforms, which has significantly improved reliability and performance in high-volume environments. I thrive in collaborative settings and am committed to delivering solutions that meet real-world needs.
