What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my skills in full-stack development, cloud architecture, and observability to drive innovation and growth in a fast-paced environment.

As a passionate software engineer, I have a strong background in full-stack development with a focus on AWS, NodeJs, and TS. With experience in building greenfield finance aggregators and enhancing skills in Infrastructure as Code (IAC), CI/CD, and Observability (O11y), I am confident in my ability to drive innovation and growth.

Throughout my career, I have worked on various projects, including developing comprehensive dashboards with DataDog, leading the development of a backend Telephone Preference Service integration, and contributing to the Playback UI team's significant front and back rearchitecture.

I am a strong believer in the importance of CI/CD pipelines in empowering developers and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality results in fast-paced environments.
