What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic environment that values innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for growth.

I am a highly enthusiastic and motivated software engineer with a strong interest in full-stack web, mobile app, and AI/ML development. My passion for learning new technologies drives me to tackle challenges head-on. I pride myself on being a critical thinker with problem-solving skills, enhanced by my achievements in sports that foster teamwork, discipline, and resilience.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and developed various applications, including a real-time bus tracking system and a video streaming platform. My experience as a full stack developer has equipped me with a solid foundation in both front-end and back-end technologies, including React, Node.js, and AWS. I have collaborated with clients to gather requirements and deploy applications using CI/CD workflows, ensuring scalable and maintainable solutions.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a proven track record of leadership and teamwork, which I believe are essential for success in any project. I am eager to contribute my expertise and continue growing in a dynamic environment that values innovation and collaboration.
