What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in AI and web development.

I'm a Full Stack Developer with over 3 years of experience in building and optimizing scalable web applications using the MERN stack and Angular. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of leading small teams, enhancing application performance, and managing full project lifecycles from requirements gathering to deployment. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science, specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, which further fuels my passion for technology and innovation.

At Zehitomo, I led a team of developers to implement a new direct hire feature, achieving all KPIs ahead of schedule. This experience honed my leadership skills and taught me the importance of agile methodologies. I also played a crucial role in improving our Google PageSpeed Score significantly, which enhanced user experience and search engine ranking. My previous role at Hexabase involved migrating our MVP from AngularJS to React, where I contributed to the development of a more modern and efficient codebase.
