What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated and passionate software engineer with over 8 years of experience, primarily focused on back-end development, database management, and API design. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have honed my skills in microservice-oriented architectures and CI/CD practices. I have a strong foundation in technologies such as Golang, Docker, and AWS, which I have utilized to build scalable and efficient systems.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse teams across different countries, including a core team in Ireland and a development team in the US. My experience includes designing and implementing complex systems, automating processes, and integrating third-party services. I am particularly proud of my contributions to projects that have significantly improved operational efficiency and user experience.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to take on new challenges that allow me to leverage my technical expertise while contributing to innovative projects. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to delivering high-quality solutions that meet the needs of users and stakeholders alike.
