What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over 15 years of software development experience, I have honed my skills in building robust backend systems and leading teams to success. My journey began at RPM International, where I engineered data-centric web applications and migrated legacy systems to microservices, significantly enhancing performance and maintainability.

I pride myself on my organizational skills and ability to manage project timelines effectively. My leadership style is results-oriented, focusing on mentoring junior developers and driving innovation within teams. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions that meet business needs while ensuring compliance with IT policies.
