What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Software Engineer with 5 years of experience in designing, developing, and optimizing high-performance web applications. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing security and scalability in fintech solutions, where I have successfully developed applications that process thousands of transactions daily. I take pride in implementing robust authentication mechanisms and optimizing application performance, achieving a 35% reduction in load times through advanced caching techniques.
In addition to my technical skills, I have a passion for mentoring and teaching. As a Frontend Developer Instructor at Zyonel Academy, I conduct real-time coding sessions and guide students through best practices in modern web development. My hands-on expertise in React.js, Next.js, and CI/CD automation has empowered my students to achieve a 90% success rate in their learning outcomes. I am currently seeking to transition into Product Management, where I can leverage my technical background to drive technology-driven business growth.
