What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in a dynamic tech environment.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience in building scalable, secure, and high-performance full-stack applications across various sectors, including telecommunications, cybersecurity, and blockchain solutions. My proficiency in technologies such as React, Vue.js, Next.js, and Node.js, combined with my advanced knowledge of CI/CD and test automation, allows me to deliver high-quality software solutions that align with business goals.

In my current role at the Government of British Columbia, I architected and maintained the CleanBC Industry Fund platform, significantly improving data reliability and scalability. My efforts in optimizing CI/CD pipelines and developing automated test suites have resulted in a 30% acceleration in deployment cycles and a 40% reduction in regression issues. I thrive in agile environments, leading teams to innovate and implement cutting-edge solutions, including exploring blockchain integrations for enhanced data security.
