What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own full‑stack delivery—from Angular/Django features to Kubernetes deployments—while leading engineering practices. I want to grow my automated testing and TDD coverage, without sacrificing resilience, performance, or process quality.

I’m a full‑stack software engineer with 4 years of experience at Purple Blob, specialized in frontend development with Angular and TypeScript and backend development with Django (Python). I also bring system administration and cloud experience, including Kubernetes+Helm, so I can ship features end to end and keep deployments stable.

As Senior Developer / Development Lead, I’ve led and mentored a technical team by defining processes, standards, and technical interviews. I migrated infrastructure to VPS and containerized services for NipponGases, reducing costs by >50% and improving resilience, and I deployed FIWARE data spaces with over 40 connected participants while integrating authentication and ODRL policies into the web platform. I implement CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and Kubernetes deployments, and I’m working to deepen my testing and coverage skills—especially to strengthen TDD and automated test practices.
