What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative team environment where I can grow, contribute to meaningful projects, and enhance my backend development skills.

I am a backend developer with a strong foundation in JavaScript and Node.js, dedicated to building robust APIs and enhancing system performance. My journey began with an internship at the Ministry of Innovation Science and Technology, where I taught web development to university students, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

In my personal projects, I developed a Restaurant Management App and a NASA Mission Tracker, utilizing technologies such as Express.js and MongoDB. These projects not only honed my technical skills but also allowed me to solve real-world problems through innovative backend solutions. I am passionate about writing clean, efficient code and eager to contribute to impactful projects.
