What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a collaborative, Agile role building scalable full-stack applications, integrating APIs/payments, working with cloud platforms (Azure/AWS), mentoring juniors, and growing into technical leadership.

I am a hands-on software engineer with full-stack and embedded-systems experience, comfortable working in Agile teams and on independent projects. I build interactive, user-centered web applications using modern tools and cloud platforms.

I have led and contributed to projects that improved coding efficiency by 35% and delivered an e-commerce application using Django, SQL, HTML, and CSS, adding unit and cross-browser tests to reduce defects. I have built frontends with Vue.js and React, consumed and integrated APIs, implemented payment flows, and managed tasks on Microsoft Azure.

My background also includes telecommunications work—installing and configuring networks and programming network devices—and mentoring roles where I guided students and acted as liaison between clients and development teams. I am looking to apply my broad technical background to build scalable products and grow into technical leadership.
