What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can leverage my skills and grow professionally while contributing to innovative projects.

I am a Full Stack Software Engineer with over four years of experience in both front-end and back-end development. My expertise lies in Node.js, Python, and React.js, where I have made significant contributions to travel technology at Xola and enhancements to a leading European gaming e-commerce platform. I excel at strategic planning and technical application, aiming to leverage my expertise to drive innovative solutions.

Currently, I work at Xola.com as a Full-Stack Software Engineer, collaborating with frontend and platform teams to enhance user interfaces and integrate third-party services. My dual role allows me to contribute to both the aesthetic and functional aspects of our platform, ensuring a seamless user experience. Previously, I developed features for one of Europe’s largest gaming e-commerce platforms, successfully rolling out enhancements that contributed to its growth.

In addition to my technical skills, I have experience teaching web development fundamentals at Centar NIT, where I guided students through their programming journey. I am passionate about mentoring and helping others grow in their careers, which I find immensely rewarding.
