What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role where I can leverage my full-stack development skills, contribute to innovative projects, and grow within a collaborative team environment.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience in building scalable, secure, and high-performance full-stack applications across various sectors including telecom, cybersecurity, and public services. My proficiency in technologies such as React, Vue.js, NestJS, Node.js, and PostgreSQL has enabled me to architect robust solutions that align with business goals.

Currently, I work as a Senior Full Stack Developer for the Government of British Columbia, where I have successfully improved data reliability and scalability for the CleanBC Industry Fund platform. My efforts in optimizing CI/CD pipelines and developing automated test suites have significantly enhanced deployment cycles and release quality. I thrive in Agile environments, leading teams to deliver high-quality software solutions efficiently.
