What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level engineering role where I can build scalable web applications, work across frontend/backend, and improve CI/CD and cloud deployment workflows in a collaborative, product-focused team.

I am a software developer with over 2 years of hands-on experience designing, developing, and maintaining scalable web applications using Python (Django), PHP, and modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js and React. I have delivered features that improved user engagement, implemented automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, and worked with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) to streamline deployments.

I collaborate closely with product managers and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into reliable solutions, conduct code reviews to uphold quality, and build both frontend and backend systems including RESTful APIs, UI/UX-driven interfaces, and database-backed modules. I seek opportunities to continue improving performance, reliability, and user satisfaction while following best coding practices.
