In my previous roles, I have worked as a Blockchain Engineer and Backend Software Engineer, utilizing a diverse tech stack including Python, Java, and AWS. I have a solid foundation in software design principles and have led projects that required extensive knowledge of cloud services and compliance standards. My personal projects further reflect my commitment to continuous learning and innovation in the field of computer science.
