What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in software development.

I am a full stack developer with a deep passion for solving business, brand, and social challenges through software development. My experience spans various products, including HR solutions, ERP inventory management, bulk SMS, payment gateways, hotel management, POS, and internet banking services. I take pride in my role as a Senior Frontend Developer at Nathan Digital, where I develop tailored HR solutions for diverse clients.

Previously, I served as a Web Lead at InterIntel Technologies, where I led a team in creating a new design system that unified the company's product appearance and revamped our web infrastructure to enhance performance. My commitment to improving user and developer experiences has driven me to innovate and implement CI/CD pipelines, ensuring quality assurance in our applications. One of my notable projects is Germale, a web application designed to optimize poultry farming.
