What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities.

With over 11 years of experience as a software engineer, I pride myself on my ability to enhance project performance and code quality through a combination of technical expertise and a strong team-oriented mindset. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I've consistently sought to solve complex problems while maintaining a customer-focused approach. I believe in the importance of understanding the needs of each project and aligning technical solutions with business objectives.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with renowned companies like Universal Studios and Walmart Global Tech, where I contributed to the development of robust microservices architectures and optimized backend systems for e-commerce operations. My technical skills span a wide range of technologies, including Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, and various cloud services, allowing me to deliver high-quality, maintainable code that meets the demands of modern applications.

I am passionate about continuous learning and improvement, and I actively participate in code reviews and team discussions to foster a culture of excellence. I thrive in collaborative environments but am equally comfortable working independently to drive projects to completion. My goal is to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to innovative projects that make a meaningful impact.
