What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me technically and allows for leadership opportunities while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

As a Tech Lead and Senior Software Developer with over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in full stack development, focusing on delivering high-quality, user-centric solutions. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have led cross-functional teams and designed scalable web applications. I take pride in my ability to enhance delivery efficiency and align technical goals with business objectives, ensuring timely and high-quality deliverables.

At Oracle, I spearheaded the development of a high-performance payroll application, mentoring developers and fostering a culture of productivity. My experience at Fiix Software allowed me to build an event-driven microservices architecture, optimizing responsiveness and elevating test coverage through TDD. I have consistently improved application performance, whether by boosting Java API efficiency or streamlining CI/CD pipelines in cloud environments.

With a strong commitment to continuous improvement, I have initiated cloud DevOps practices and implemented agile methodologies across teams. My technical expertise spans various languages and frameworks, including Java, React, and Node.js, and I am adept in cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and drive business success.
