What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in software engineering to build impactful solutions and mentor others.

I am an innovative and results-driven Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in building scalable, high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in React, Golang, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern frontend technologies, with a strong focus on UX/UI, performance optimization, and automated testing. I have a proven track record of mentoring teams, establishing best practices, and delivering exceptional user experiences.

Currently, I lead the frontend team at AMAKA Studio, where I architect and build the company’s core Certifications platform. I implement A/B testing and user behavior tracking to drive data-informed decisions, while enhancing platform stability through error monitoring and performance optimizations. My previous roles include leading the development of multi-tenant systems and AI-powered conversational bots, where I significantly improved system performance and reduced bugs through comprehensive automated testing.
