What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

With over 8 years of experience, I specialize in designing, building, and optimizing scalable backend systems and microservices. My expertise spans multiple programming languages, including Golang, Python, and NodeJS, and I am proficient in developing REST and gRPC APIs. I have extensive hands-on experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases, ensuring robust and efficient data solutions.

Currently, as a Senior Software Engineer at Infact, I lead the development of key features for a Greenfield software project targeting the UK credit market. My role involves managing intricate business logic for credit risk assessment and ensuring adherence to top-tier security measures. I am committed to maintaining stringent quality assurance and regulatory standards throughout the development lifecycle.

Throughout my career, I have embraced the startup hustle, wearing many hats and managing projects while providing stellar customer support. I am a passionate advocate for clean, maintainable code and distributed systems, continuously seeking to innovate and elevate software engineering practices.
