What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead technical delivery, mentor engineers, work with microservices and cloud-native stacks, and contribute to a collaborative, growth-focused team culture.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over ten years of experience designing and implementing robust, efficient, and sustainable software solutions across diverse architectures, from monoliths to microservices. I specialize in backend and frontend development with strong expertise in Java, Angular, Node.js, PHP, and JavaScript, and I bring practical experience with cloud services and DevOps practices including Terraform.

Throughout my career I have taken ownership of components, led and mentored teams, and driven improvements in code quality and delivery processes. I have been a technical lead and staff engineer on projects in banking, automotive, food industry, and corporate engineering, delivering microservices, migrations, and production support while collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders.

I am tenacious about continuous learning and fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented environment; I routinely participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, peer programming, on-call support rotations, and client demos to ensure high-quality software aligned with business objectives.
