What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my software engineering skills to deliver innovative and high-quality solutions.

As a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of experience, I bring specialized expertise in technologies such as PHP, Node.js, React, and AWS. I have successfully led significant projects across various domains, including web applications and financial systems. My proficiency in cloud infrastructure, containers, and automation tools has notably enhanced the stability and scalability of the products.

I excel in designing backend solutions, streamlining workflows for efficiency, and seamlessly integrating APIs. In addition to my technical skills, I have a solid background in managing and mentoring engineering teams. However, my primary passion lies in leveraging my software engineering skills to deliver innovative and high-quality solutions.

Throughout my career, I have worked on various projects, including migrating services to AWS, improving system monitoring through New Relic, and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines. I have also focused on enhancing credit card transaction accuracy and reducing system downtime through effective refactoring.
