What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for growth in cloud-based technologies and microservices.

I am a detail-oriented full-stack software engineer with over 15 years of experience in developing high-quality software solutions. My journey has been marked by a commitment to writing clean, concise, and adaptable code, which I consider an art form. I thrive in remote environments and have a strong background in back-end microservices, particularly using Go, while also contributing to front-end development with frameworks like Angular and React.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and developed custom software solutions for various industries, including logistics and finance. My experience includes leading engineering efforts on enterprise-level microservices, implementing REST APIs, and working with cloud-based environments. I take pride in my ability to tackle complex challenges and deliver functionality that meets user needs efficiently.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to explore opportunities in cloud-based microservices and distributed systems, while remaining open to web application development. I am passionate about collaborating with teams that value creativity, quality, and innovation in software engineering.
